Just got an email from GitLab about a group I'm part of that has more than five users. The docs linked says "For existing namespaces, this limit is being rolled out gradually. Impacted users are notified in GitLab.com at least 60 days before the limit is applied.", however upon checking the group in GitLab, we are greeted by a big red box stating "Your top-level group [group] is over the 5 user limit and has been placed in a read-only state."

My email mentions two group id's. I had to look at each group's page to see its id (no other way of finding out what group we're talking about).

I have _no_ groups with the id's mentioned in the email.

Also, I'm a solo hobbyist dev, there are no groups with more than one user in it.
