Help: “Story Could Not Be Saved” Error on Medium — Tried Everything!

The Problem

I’m getting this frustrating error when trying to publish my blog on Medium:

What I’ve Already Tried ✅

• ✅ Checked my internet connection (it’s working fine)
• ✅ Tried different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
• ✅ Cleared cache and cookies
• ✅ Logged out and logged back in
• ✅ Tried incognito/private mode
• ✅ Disabled browser extensions
• ✅ Tried from different devices
• ✅ Split my content into smaller chunks

My Situation

• Account Type: Free user
• Content: Technical blog post (~2000 words)
• Format: Markdown with code examples
• Issue: Error appears immediately when trying to save

The Question

• Free account restriction?
• Server-side problem?
• Content format issue?

Need Help! 🙏
