We encountered this problem in one of our database Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0
We have all datafiles in all tablespaces specified with MAXSIZE and AUTOEXTEND ON. But last week database could not extend table size

ORA-1653: unable to extend table PCS.T0102 by 128 in tablespace PCS_DATA
ORA-1653: unable to extend table PCS.T0102 by 8192 in tablespace PCS_DATA

ORA-1653: unable to extend table PCS.T0102 by 128 in tablespace PCS_DATA
ORA-1653: unable to extend table PCS.T0102 by 8192 in tablespace PCS_DATA
Datafile was created as ... DATAFILE '/u01/oradata/PCSDB/PCS_DATA01.DBF' AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 50M MAXSIZE 31744M
Datafile PCS_DATA01.DBF had only 1GB size. Maximum size is 31GB but database did not want to extend this datafile.
We used temporary solution and we added new datafile to same tablespace. After that database and our application started to work correctly.
There is enough free space for database datafiles.
Do you have some ideas where could be our problem and what should we check?
Thanks
