Description

A user which has reached MAX_CREATION_LIMIT cannot create a repository in an organization where (s)he is an owner.

However when user's MAX_CREATION_LIMIT isn't reached, (s)he can create any number of repositories in an organization. These repositories aren't counted toward the user's MAX_CREATION_LIMIT, which I consider correct. I believe there should be no restriction based on user's MAX_CREATION_LIMIT state for organization owned repos.

It seems the problem is only with web UI. Repos belonging to organizations can be reated using API even when user's MAX_CREATION_LIMIT is reached.

Using the master branch from a few days ago, I hit the same issue through the api (user has reached the maximum limit of repositories), so it's not just a web client issue.

EDIT: Nevermind, orgs have a maximum limit as well, disregard
