rest api - Call to undefined function upload_is_user_over

I have two different multisites:

www.example
www.example-two

On both sites, there are 5 sub-sites.

They're hosted on the same server (that I have setup myself using VirtualMin). All 10 sub-sites share the same parent theme, with different child-themes that has minor variations in them.

I've converted the sites to Gutenberg, - but whenever I upload an image, then I get this error:

The response is not a valid JSON response.

... Seen here:

In the error-log I get this error:

It looks like that others are experiencing this error as well.

Does anyone know a fix or a work-around to this?

In digging around this seems to be a bug with WordPress added in 4.9.8. This patch seems to have broken attachment uploads over the REST API on Multisite, because it uses a function from a file that isn't loaded for REST requests.

I've reported the bug here.

A quick and dirty fix would be to add this to your theme's functions.php file, or a simple plugin:

if ( ! function_exists( 'upload_is_user_over_quota' ) ) {
    function upload_is_user_over_quota( $echo ) {
        return false;
    }
}

The function won't do what it's supposed to do, but it will prevent the fatal error from occurring.
