Compile error 169025 Too many I/O pins assigned in I/O bank

My design is based on a FPGA online course I'm taking through Coursesea

I'm seeing a conflict between the compile error and the pin planner

I'm using Quartus 16.1 lite (free), processor MAX10 10M08DAF484C8GES

I did research the forum for help, no luck. I'm also the Max10 datasheets

compile error states 37 pins assigned in I/O bank 8 only 36 I/O pins allowed

versus

pin planner shows 33 pins assigned and 3 pins available, see IO Bank Usage attachment

Per the instructor direction I assigned the pins from a combination of

- pin planner:

  • 2 single pins dropped

  • dropping grouped bus pins into the bank#

- using the pin Assignment Edito:

  • other single pins.

OMG I just discovered copying / pasting the compile error below I get the signals i placed in bank 8 plus there's 3 ~signals that i didn't place but this only adds up to 36 pins not 37.

- So what is the 37th pin?

- why did these signals get placed? One confession I did do a back annotate before re-assigning the pins.
