Forbidden for space that I know I have access to

[alexkafer]

Hello,

We're working on duplicating a space. Our thought process is to export the one space and import into a new one using the following config files

export-config.json

{
  "spaceId": "<the source id>",
  "managementToken": "<a personal token for an administrator>"
}

import-config.json

{
  "spaceId": "<the destination id>",
  "managementToken": "<same personal token for an administrator>",
  "contentFile": "data.json"
}

The exporting works just fine. All the data shows up and has no errors.

The importing runs into some forbidden issues:

I've removed various IDs from the code above, shown with <>
Any ideas?

Looks like you reached your locale limit. Try to delete unused locales in the space you are importing to :)

Edit: Might also that the maximum number of locales in your whole organization is reached.

[alexkafer]

We only have one locale right now in our importing space, with the plan supporting up to 20. Is this something I should be talking to Contentful support about?

[alexkafer]

Ah, figured it out. While there was only one locale in the importing space, we have two spaces on our plan and the other one (the export) was maxed out at 20.

I now know the issue, thanks @axe312ger for your assistance!
