Description

Summary:
------------------
When a workspace has reached its data limit, a user is still able to create a new project. Upon syncing, an unhelpful generic error message is displayed instead of informing the user that the data limit has been reached.
`Workspace: storage_limit`

Environment:
-------------
Staging [x] PROD [x]

Application:
Device/OS/APP: IPhone 15 / iOS26.5 / MM 2026.3.0 - 924211

Steps to Reproduce:
------------
1. Use a workspace that has reached its data limit (1.0 GB / 1.0 GB). `Workspace: storage_limit`
2. Create a new project in the application.
3. Hit upload - a modal window about insufficient storage is displayed.
4. Open the project and attempt to sync the project.
5. Observe the error message displayed.

Actual Behaviour:
-------------
A generic error message is displayed stating that the project could not be created and instructing the user to contact the support team _("Couldn't create the project. Please try again later or contact support if the problem persists.")_
There is no reference to the data limit being the cause of the failure.

Expected Behaviour:
----------------
The application should display the same error message as shown in the data limit screen: _"You have reached a data limit"_, clearly informing the user that the sync failed due to insufficient storage.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the workspace data-limit case and trace the project creation and sync error handling from that flow. The work is done when syncing a project at the limit displays “You have reached a data limit” instead of the generic project-creation error.
