Unable to share in chat "Failed to start upload: A server error occurred. (25)"

I have shared many video clips with my friends in the past weeks, but recently, for a few days or maybe a week now, I'm unable to share them anymore. I get the following error in the Steam Chat when trying to share video clips: "Failed to start upload: A server error occurred. (25)". I have retried many times, with different friends, and this has been going on for multiple days now. Doesn't matter if a clip is 5 seconds or 50 seconds long. Image sharing is unaffected, I am able to share images just fine.

Today I was able to share 11 video clips but after that started getting "Failed to start upload: A server error occurred. (25)" again

Was able to share a clip or two again, but then started getting the same error, again. Now I can't even share images.

It feels like there is some sort of an upload limit Steam Chat has that I'm hitting? Wish Steam was more clear on this, as in how much of the limit each clip consumes and how much I have left. That way I could be more selective with which clips I share, instead of sharing every single funny moment but then hitting the limit and not being able to share a more important video clip.

It would also be nice if there was some simple one-click share integration with YouTube, with the Steam client uploading the video clip as an unlisted video on your YouTube account, providing you with the video link. Obviously it would take some time for YouTube to process the video before it's viewable, but still. Heck, maybe Steam could even provide some video sharing plugin API, that way whoever could write a plugin for uploading a Game Recording video clip to whatever video hosting platform they want and it would show up under the Share button in Game Recording in the Steam Client.

i figured it was a rate limit thing based on steam chat messages being stored on their servers for 14 days but now it's been 14 days and i still appear to be getting blocked from uploads. steam doesn't want to acknowledge this or explain how it works, maybe they're afraid of people maxing out their data cap all the time idk
