Compile error 169025 Too many I/O pins assigned in I/O bank

My design is based on a FPGA online course I'm taking through Coursesea 

I'm seeing a conflict between the compile error and the pin planner 

I'm using Quartus 16.1 lite (free), processor MAX10 10M08DAF484C8GES 

I did research the forum for help, no luck. I'm also the Max10 datasheets 

compile error states 37 pins assigned in I/O bank 8 only 36 I/O pins allowed 

versus 

pin planner shows 33 pins assigned and 3 pins available, see IO Bank Usage attachment 

 

Per the instructor direction I assigned the pins from a combination of  

- pin planner: 

  • 2 single pins dropped 

  • dropping grouped bus pins into the bank#  

 

- using the pin Assignment Edito: 

  • other single pins. 

 

 

OMG I just discovered copying / pasting the compile error below I get the signals i placed in bank 8 plus there's 3 ~signals that i didn't place but this only adds up to 36 pins not 37.  

- So what is the 37th pin? 

- why did these signals get placed? One confession I did do a back annotate before re-assigning the pins.
