I have googled this pretty extensively and I have yet to find a suitable solution. I've also been in contact with DJI twice today and they also can't help apparently. Any time I use automated functions like MasterShot i get the error message "max flight distance reached. Adjust aircraft distance and start again". The problem is, I'm not even far from the subject so it's definitely within the limits set in-app. The only work around I have found is to move the home point right next to the subject but that's not very helpful when I want to use that as a safety feature, or it's not a good place to actually come back to. Anyone know of any work around at all?! I can't even reinstall the firmware according to DJI Assistant. Incredibly frustrating.

Hi. I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. May I ask what version of the DJI Fly app you have? May I also confirm your highest flight altitude? For your feedback on our services, could you please confirm through which method you contacted our support? I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you.

Maybe you can check "Max Distance" setpoint under Safety > Flight Protection > Max Distance? hope this helps..

The latest version so it’s set to the highest I can go at 120 meters. I contacted through the online chat service. It was painfully slow.

I have distance set to unlimited and height to 120 meters. I wasn’t even flying anywhere near that high.

Did you notice the number or strength of GPS signal during your flight?

can you check, whether you are connected to your DJI-account?
If not, there are some restrictions which can cause your problem.
Or are you using a prop-guard?

ok my mini3pro also encountered this for the first time while doing hyperlapses.
as can be seen on screenshot i get this warning "Aircraft max flight distance reached. Hyperlapse exited" as soon as i start the hyperlapse. the image counter just stays at 0 and the drone idles, even though the red button indicates the hyperlapse has started.
on 2nd screen u can see my max distance is actually set much higher.

what is the reason for this behavior?
using latest dji fly app and firmware.

I can attest to this issue too but I’m flying my new Mavic 3 Pro. I’m in class C airspace with proper authorization and I can not use my intelligent flight modes without getting that same error message. I’m out on a job and this is extremely frustrating and losing me money… Using the RC Pro and ALL firmware and software are 100% up to date on all systems. DJI this is unacceptable to spend $4k on a drone system and still have these money crippling bugs. This is where competitors are born.

After doing some research I can see that this has popped up from time to time over the years. Most often it was after a firmware update when settings were put back to default.
The most common fix was logging off. Shutting down the Fly app and restarting and logging back in and resetting all your parameters.
Sorry - that's all I've got if you already tried that.

Hi Admin,

Permission to post!

I would like to ask for help with regards to my Mini 3 Pro drone. It prompted an error: "Aircraft Max Flight Distance Reached," even though the settings for the distance were set to no limit. I am using an RC controller.

I hope someone helps me.

Thanks!

Hi Admin,

Permission to post!

Hello, Ren2024. Thank you for reaching out and we're sorry for the trouble. Can you try to perform a test flight in a different location to check if the issue persists? Also, please check the location that you are flying if it is within the DJI No-Fly zone as flying in these areas is restricted. If the issue persists, download the DJI Assistant 2 software and update/refresh the firmware of both the aircraft and remote controller. Please keep us posted.
