Current stable steemd version is enforcing auth membership limits.
How many users are affected?
The following link shows that the STEEMIT_MAX_AUTHORITY_MEMBERSHIP
is set to 10.
Each Steem account has list of account_auths and keys_auths. The first one is related to the applications you are using. Lists for each account can be seen on steemd. For example looking only at posting authorities:

Data for analysis was downloaded from SteemSQL using the following query:
SELECT name, posting FROM Accounts (NOLOCK)
Column posting
is a json containing arrays: account_auths
and key_auths
.
Let's look at the histogram for account_auths
and key_auths
, taking into account all the Steem users.
To be honest, the above histogram is not very readable, most of the values are on the left, so let's use the logarithmic scale. Now the chart looks much better.
We are most interested in the higher values, so let's zoom it.
From 5:
From 10:
From 15:
We can also check which exact users have the most account_auths and key_auths used.
