Anyone else getting a 'Livery limit' message lately?

[IcarusDragon]

So I was playing GT7 the other day and went to build a new helmet livery. Went to save it, however, and I got this message out of the blue:

I went through my design list, got rid of a bunch of older stuff from my inventory and shared catalogs, then tried again. Got the same message!

Apparently, this only applies to my helmet catalog and neither the cars or suits, but I have no idea how to clear it. Any assistance would be appreciated!

I had this a while back with liveries, and I'm not sure how it works with helmets, but deleting the designs from each car individually fixed it. It was pretty tedious, had to go car by car, open livery editor, delete design, exit, select next car, repeat etc

It wasn't saved and/or shared styles that was causing the issue, but the original designs. The bit where you click on "Open Design" in the livery editor, I had to delete them from there one by one.

It may have been a long-winded and unnecessary process, but it did change my livery "workflow" since then. Now once I've saved a style, I delete the design(s) so they don't pile up again. Unless it is a work in progress, you don't really need the design saved anyway, and you can create a new livery design from the saved style if needed.

And since I first thought it was because I'd got to the limit of sharing them, I went through it all to "curate" the gallery and deleted or unshared heaps of them in bulk. Turns out that wasn't necessary, but when you think an art gallery doesn't display every single piece of art they own, it made sense to cull it to the stuff I created that I really liked.

And they could make easier to understand what to do, hey. Reference to liveries, designs, styles... they're all the same thing to the end user, but are different things in the game. I stumbled around until I found the solution for liveries, hope that helps for helmets.
