This is a known bug where whenever you try to save your game, the message 'You can't save right now.' pops up. There was a similar post on the r/cyberpunkgame subreddit, 3 years back, describing the exact same problem, with multiple people suggesting possible fixes.

I'm experiencing this bug right now and none of the suggested fixes work for me. I'm currently on the final mission of the game 'NOCTURNE OP55N1'. With almost all the side quests and the Phantom Liberty DLC completed.

The only time the game lets me manually save again is when I enter Embers to meet Hanako, once on the top floor, saving becomes possible. Loading a save state prior to entering Embers doesn't do anything and the bug just reappears again. Additionally, the game is still able to automatically save, for example when I go to a ripperdoc or whenever I open my stash. However, I don't want to resort to opening my stash every time I need to save the game.

I'm all out of options and I hope someone out there knows a way to fix this for good, I don't understand how a bug such as this still exists after all these years.

Hi I had this problem and after reading threads from many different sites. It seems there is no "fix". If you are reading this and it has happened to you DONT CARRY ON PLAYING, I played about 15 more hours hoping it would sort it out... today I stopped and went back to a save where it still worked.

I hope someone reads this and doesnt waste 15 hours of gameplay like I did

Can confirm the bug is still there (game version 2.11), did an NCPD call and couldn't save for 15 minutes straight, was close to reloading.
HOWEVER - for me fast-travelling fixed the issue and I could save normally again after having travelled.
Version 2.12 helped entering V's Appartment in Megabuilding 10
Just started playing again last night after putting it down late last year I think it was, didn't know this was a potential bug - but was hit with it within 10 minutes of playing.

For me, "fixing" it involved jumping off the object (I think an umbrella over a table?) I was standing on.
Seems like it's a very unpredictable issue.
Got the same bug in Disasterpiece, v 2.12. Fast travelling did not help, getting calls did not help. Semi-fixed by driving far away from the bugged area (ca 2 km away). This let me save the game. However, as I reapproached the quest target (without reloading the save), the game became unsaveabeale once again. Reloading the save solves the issue, as far as I can tell

Found a way around it. You have to decline Judy's offer to drive you to the factory, then fast travel somewhere near and approach her on your own. She will then call you into the van and start the mission, and saves will work normally from there.
For me what worked is that my sprint legs was messed up it was constantly stuck at 75% of the bar i took off the mod and reapplied it and it let me save. I think it has to due with entering combat or thinking you are in an action even when you arent. only way to fix it was unequipping it. Jenkins Tendons
Just happened to me!

To explain:
Recently loaded an old game on my dagger based char from over a year ago because I could not beat Adam Smasher on Hard at the time. NOW it's bloody impossible since Smasher was buffed with Sandevistan.
Spent time killing rando gangers & buying items from shops to gain and craft components to upgrade my Cyberware and redo my talents in the hopes that will help beating Smasher.
NOW that I have the 675 Tier 5 components I needed the bug happened.

I have no clue why this starts but all my main & side quests were done already. Truly aggravating as I want to start Phantom Liberty cleanly with previous base game complete.

OK! Seems I still had the secret quest 'The Highwayman' (Checked Journal [J] )and that I had already visited the garage for the first clue. After watching this video on YT ( 'Cyberpunk 2077: Easily Missed Side Job "The Highwayman" ' ) I went to Japantown and killed some gang members and then the game brought up "loading" icon. It was then I tried to save and VOILA! game was saveable!
I have attached screen caps for better reference. Hope it helps!
