Description

The easiest way to describe this is probably by example:

1. User with a maximum of one reservation at a time creates a reservation (this can happen with any max reservation value, the user just has to exceed that value in step 3)
2. User creates another reservation at a later, non-overlapping time
3. User modifies second reservation to overlap with first reservation
4. After clicking submit, the next page takes 1-2 minutes to load and tells the user that they can't have overlapping reservations. It also says an error occurred and to contact the help email address. The biggest problem here is that during this 1-2 minutes other users trying to create new reservations also have their session hang until the initial user's request errors out.
