`dict_hash_with()`: Dictionary is full error after using pp_check() function from bayesplot package

Operating System: high performance computing cluster using CentOS Linux 7
R v. 4.0.3
brms v. 2.15.0
bayesplot v. 1.8.1
Rstan v. 2.21.2

I created GAMMs using the brms package (v. 2.15.0) and am evaluating the models by creating posterior predictive check plots using the bayesplot package (v. 1.8.1). When I run the function:

pp_check(m, type=”intervals”) 

on any of my models, m, I get the following error message:

Error: Internal error in `dict_hash_with()`: Dictionary is full.

I assume the issue has something to do with the size of the model? I receive the error for all of my models, the smallest of which is 4,325 Kb (the data frame used to create the model has 57,255 data points). I am able to create other pp_check types without receiving the error (for example pp_check(m), pp_check(m, type = “ecdf_overlay”) and pp_check(m, type = “stat”, stat=“mean”) all work without error).
I am running the pp_check(m, type=”intervals”) code because I want to create a plot like this one:

If anyone has insights into this error, or knows of alternative ways to create an intervals type plot like the one above, they would be appreciated! Please let me know if I should provide additional information. Thank you!

I’ve seen this error crop up with dplyr but I am not sure if that’s related to what is going on here:
