Cannot create or edit events in a shared calendar

What you are seeing

I cannot create or edit events in a shared calendar.

iCal feed size	-	Beyond the cap, events are silently omitted from the feed.
Static site calendar export	-	Beyond that the exported page prints "Only the first 500 events are included on static sites."

Unlicensed or signed-out visitor lands on the Calendar page and sees a notice instead of the product

The space and global Calendar pages deliberately render a static visitor notice for unlice
