    Note: A counter runs out of numbers when it reaches its Max Value or can't grow beyond its segment's configured length. If you set a System Fallback Number, the app switches to that definition automatically and keeps numbering. If you don't set a fallback, or the fallback also runs out of numbers, the app can't generate the number, and it writes the failure to the device log.
