ERROR_CTX_WINSTATION_BUSY

ERROR_CTX_WINSTATION_BUSY means the RDS subsystem is temporarily busy. Existing users may remain connected, while a new management or connection operation is deferred or rejected.

What to check

Check whether the host is under session-creation load, logging users on or off, or recovering from a previous service disruption.
Review active and disconnected sessions and host resource usage before changing connection limits.
Retry once the operation completes; if the error is persistent, investigate the first accompanying TerminalServices event.
