Block production is too slow, you likely have a lot of space, so a lot of votes are included, too many votes are produced. I think with lower concurrency this is not prevented, but rather delayed instead.

The solution is to adjust initial solution range according to the amount of space pledged by the first farmer or disable solution range adjustment until you know the amount of space pledged.

Proper fix, of course, is to bench voting performance and set corresponding weights on chain.
