SOF file won't compress into a POF file

I have been slowly developing my FPGA code, and up until now, I have had no trouble fitting it into a POF file, but now I'm getting this message. I'm developing for a Cyclone V (5CEFA9U19I7)...

Hello,

why .pof? Presume you are using EPCQ32A in active serial configuration, respective programming file is *.jic. Compressed image size is equal to .rbf size (if compression is selected in device options).

Compression for converted file has to be separately selected in programming file conversion tool under options of the respective .sof image, may be you missed this step. Maximal uncompressed A9 image size is about 100 Mbit, so I'm not sure if it your design can fit 32 Mbit.
