Execedding 50 reference cause trouble

I tried many ways around 'zotero experienced an error updating your document' when clicking 'update' in my microsoft word. If i do not add bibliography, then update or add new citation works fine. But once i added any bibliography, it starts to report the same error once i click 'update.

I tried to delete my essay part by part to see which citation goes wrong.

Finally i find that whatever reference I add, once the total reference number jump from 49 to 50, the problem start to exist. Could this due to any overflow problem?
  • is there another way to debug this?
  • It’s definitely possible to have many more that 50 references in the document.

    It’s likely that there is a corrupt citation somewhere in the document. A good approach is to cut your document in half and then try to add a citation to each half. Keep cutting the document that errors in half until you locate the problematic citation, then delete it and re-insert. It will usually okay take 3-4 splits to find the problematic citation even in a long document.
