If you're not the cluster admin, you'll want to check with them, but that should be related to a limit in how many node-hours an association (a unique combination of user, cluster, partition, and account) can have in running or pending state. Further jobs would get blocked to allow others' jobs to run, and keep the limited association from monopolizing the cluster for extended periods.
