There have been instances where multiples don't want to slice, but it's usually higher than 8. If that 8th model happens to intrude into the Non-Printable area (that includes a skirt or brim around the models) then Cura won't slice.
Place 4 models on the build plate in a way that 8 would fit. Group those 4 models and then Export them as a Binary STL. Cura will turn the 4 separate models into a single model in a new STL file.
Clear the build plate and then open your new STL file and then select Multiply and add 1 instance. That should give you the 8 models (two groups of 4) and it should slice provided they all fit within the "Printable" area. This will limit your options if you had intended to use "per model" settings (because Cura thinks there are only two models), but if you weren't going to do that it should prove to be a decent work-a-round.
Please post logfiles / project files. There could be all kinds of things that are going wrong (and for most of them we need both of those files to debug it)

Here comes Cura 5.9 and in this stable release we have lots of material and printer profiles for UltiMaker printers, including the newly released Sketch Sprint. Additionally, scarf seams have been introduced alongside even more print settings and improvements. Check out the rest of this article to find out the details on all of that and more
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
