Server does not support setting more than 5 shared access policy identifiers on a single container

Question

Hi,
I upload a video file to a new Asset. I then attempt to create a streaming URL by creating an Access Policy and then a Locator, which I use to generate the URL used for streaming.This works great. Until the 6th time you execute
that code against the same Asset. Then you receive this error:
"Server does not support setting more than 5 shared access policy identifiers on a single container."
So, that's fine. I don't need to create a new AccessPolicy everytime, I can reuse the one I've created previously, build a Locator using that same policy. However, even then, I get the error about 5 shared access policies on a single container.
Is this the Lmitation of media service? or am I missing something?
Following is the code I used for this:
if (AssetId != "")
                inputAsset = (from a in _context.Assets
                              where a.Id == AssetId
                              select a).FirstOrDefault();
                policy= (from a in _context.AccessPolicies where a.Name==inputAsset.Name select a).FirstOrDefault();
                var assetFile = inputAsset.AssetFiles.Create(Path.GetFileName(singleFilePath));
                var locator = _context.Locators.CreateLocator(LocatorType.Sas, inputAsset, policy);
                assetFile.Upload(singleFilePath);
                locator.Delete();
                MediaElement media = new MediaElement();
                media.AssetId = inputAsset.Id;
                media.Title = Path.GetFileName(singleFilePath);
                var result = Save(media, singleFilePath);
                return inputAsset;
            else
                inputAsset = _context.Assets.Create(User.Identity.Name, AssetCreationOptions.None);
                 policy = _context.AccessPolicies.Create(
                                    inputAsset.Name,
                                    TimeSpan.FromDays(30),
                                    AccessPermissions.Write | AccessPermissions.List
| AccessPermissions.Read | AccessPermissions.Delete);
                 var assetFile = inputAsset.AssetFiles.Create(Path.GetFileName(singleFilePath));
                 var locator = _context.Locators.CreateLocator(LocatorType.Sas, inputAsset, policy);
                 assetFile.Upload(singleFilePath);
                 locator.Delete();
                 policy.Delete();
                 MediaElement media = new MediaElement();
                 media.AssetId = inputAsset.Id;
                 media.Title = Path.GetFileName(singleFilePath);
                 var result = Save(media, singleFilePath);
                 return inputAsset;
