Strange rare sql error

[Frank Vèssia]

Hello, I have a template with 32 fields, one repeater and images and I added a function to clone a page via API. It worked since today when suddenly is throwing an sql error, never seen before:
 

Error: Exception: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1116 Too many tables; MariaDB can only use 61 tables in a join 

and from now on, the clone function doens't work anymore. Any idea?

Thsi si my clone function

function clonePlate($plate){
	$pages = wire('pages');
	$copy = $pages->clone($plate);
	$copy->setAndSave('title', $copy->title.' (copy)');
	
}

Do you have autojoin enabled for all/many fields on that template?

no, just the title, which is by default.

After some debug it looks like the image field is the problem, cloning the page without any image assigned works as expected, very strange
