Expected result

What is the expected result of the above steps?

This is being caused by too many updates (like comments and iteration count) on a work item. Retrying is not useful since the number of revisions won't go down.

We need to clone the work item, and hard delete the original. This way, we can continue updating it without hitting the revision limit.
