### Describe the bug

When trying to run a sandbox or deploy I always get the CREATE_FAILED because of the "exceeded the limit on the number of resources in a single stack operation"

I have about 65 models and 40 functions, and the sandbox worked before I had to delete it and recreate because of massive model changes.

### Expected behavior

I expect the app to just deploy like it did before

### Reproduction steps

1. create many models
2. create a few lambda function resolvers
3. After a certain amount it will always feel

Research direction

No source files, tests, or usable log output are identified in the issue. Start by reproducing a sandbox or deploy with roughly 65 models and 40 functions on Windows, then trace where the CREATE_FAILED resource-limit error is surfaced. Done means the deployment succeeds for the reported project shape or the failure is handled with a clear, actionable result.
