[Ethereum] receiving “creation of NFT errored: Internal JSON-RPC error. { “code”: -32000, “message”: “execution reverted” }” in the remix.eth. code

I am trying to publish my collection of 5,000 NFTs and I'm just about to upload them to Opensea… I just keep receiving the error in the title. I had no problem producing 1, 20, or 50 NFTs of the 5000. But when I changed the number to 5000, for some reason I get this error. Does anyone know what's wrong? Appreciate any feedback 🙂
