Can't recruit vassals anymore. Is there a cap?

Hi everyone! I have 46 vassals and I don't know if it's a bug or a vassal cap exists but it seems like I can't recruit more vassals anymore. After finishing all empire factions, the game started to snowball. I had a plan of recruiting a vassal for each city we capture with the same culture and the plan was going really well. Armies started to move on Khuzaits and we captured 3 of the northern Khuzait cities fast. Recruiting 3 of the Khuzaits vassal was no problem. But after that 46th vassal, no vassal wants to join my faction anymore. I tried everything. Smithed like hell and made 40M gold. Made 100 relation with some. Destroyed and captured all Khuzait settlements. Still, all of the remaining Khuzait vassals are like "I am happy with my Liege blah blah...." This is what I've tried so far:

1. I have 40M gold so money is not the problem.
2. Vassals I've talked to are all Poor so they are not happy with their money situation either.
3. They don't have any fiefs since I wiped Khuzaits off the map.
4. I've killed Monchung, so the vassals I am trying to recruit are not friends with the new ruler.
5. I have 100 relation with a Poor, Fiefless vassal but still, he is friggin happy with their Liege.
6. I have 288 Charm skill.

After that, I've tried recruiting Aserai clans too and the same thing happened. Did my save get broken or something? I need info. Thank you.
