STATUS_GRAPHICS_TOO_MANY_REFERENCES

Reference pressure reached a limit

This is not an invalid-handle result. The allocation is recognized, but the graphics subsystem has already accumulated the maximum allowed number of pending references. It often indicates a leak or unbounded queueing of operations that retain the same resource.

Audit ownership and completion

Track every open, lock, submission, completion, unlock, and close associated with the allocation. Compare the number of references created by the application or driver with the number retired after fences complete. Closing the allocation to suppress the count can turn the failure into STATUS_GRAPHICS_ALLOCATION_CLOSED while commands still use it.
