Of course I immediately did that after upgrading AA to version 8.12, I’ve migrated the custom naming policy of the project to the new Custom Naming method leaving everything default;

After the migration the first deployment done afterward failed with the following error message:
{"status":"500 INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR","serverMessage":"Counter exhausted"}

Seemed something to do with a counter but it was not very obvious it had to do with the custom naming policy.

After changing a few of the counters and steps deployments succeeded again.
