Samsung One UI update mess deepens with daily download limit

Some Samsung phones are reportedly displaying a “daily download limit” notice upon checking for a new software update. Galaxy devices usually turn to the last installed software page, but the new pop-up is putting Samsung in the fire.

Millions of Samsung users are waiting for the One UI 8 update for their Galaxy phones and watches. Software-hungry users are also eagerly awaiting the September 2025 patch, which brings the latest security improvements.

Samsung phones in the US are displaying that the update server has reached a “daily download limit,” recommending users to check back tomorrow. The pop-up also advises utilizing the Smart Switch app for quicker installation via PC.

The message reads:

• Couldn’t download update: The server has reached its daily download limit. Try again tomorrow or update using Smart Switch on your computer.

The Korean tech giant always follows a sequential update rollout strategy. The same is happening with the One UI 8 update, with the initial distribution having started in South Korea, but the Global expansion is still awaited.

The new update notice is putting Samsung’s software strategy in the fire. Users are getting this notice, accusing the company of not efficiently handling its OTA department. Notably, the majority of the affected users reside in the US.

It seems Samsung’s software server has a certain limit for rollouts. However, it doesn’t seem to be the case as this notice isn’t widespread. I tried to produce this pop-up on two of my devices, but no such pop-up has emerged.

Nonstop software fetching could trigger the download limit notice on your Galaxy device as well. It appears to be a server-side problem as Samsung proved its mettle by rolling out One UI updates to millions of devices at a quick pace.

We will update this article based on future developments.
