Why do I get the error "Domain Already Exists" when trying to add a domain to an app in another account?
You cannot add the same domain name to multiple apps or split an app and domain name across more than one account.

Upload issues to apps are often caused by exceeding one of the following limits:
Apps should only use the host instance’s local filesystem for small amounts of temporary storage. For persistent storage, you can use Spaces Object Storage or DigitalOcean Managed Databases.
If you are exceeding one of these limits, you may need to decrease the size of your files or consider another storage option for your app.
You cannot add the same domain name to multiple apps or split an app and domain name across more than one account.
Specify the registry property in the app spec.
Functions does not support forwarding to Managed OpenSearch.
Try using different keywords or simplifying your search terms.
