Cause

The issue is caused by bucket hard quota exceed, therefore the write operations are not allowed.

Resolution

Must extend the bucket Hard Quota to resume the write operations.

KB ECS: Setting Bucket Soft and Hard Quota and ECS: How to increase the quota set on an ECS Bucket should be followed.
