Cannot add daughter to family.

Hi,


WE are a family of 6.

In the Apple family, we had 6 users too, by mistake I added my sond with two Apple IDs (after he opened a Google Account I added that account since that was the active email.)


I removed his ID so we are back at 5 users in the family.

But now for some reason I cannot add my daughter to the Apple ID since I reached my limit... although we are only 5 in the Apple family.


Thanks!

What happens when you try to add your daughter? Error message(s)?


Since deleting the son's second account, have you tried signing out of iCloud, restarting the device/computer, and then signing back in to see if that helps?
