Google cloud Platform(GCP) Unknown error. Original error message: Operation failed: Insufficient CPU quota in region

Question

I want to create a VPC connector to connect the App engine to the cloud SQL instance. As the connector should be in the same region as the SQL instance is, I have selected the same region. But after creating the VPC connector it gives me an error:

Unknown error. Original error message: Operation failed: Insufficient CPU quota in region.

I tell you that I am using a free Tier GCP account. Is this problem is from my side? related to my account? How to resolve it?

Answer 1

Accordingly to the error message, you don't have enough CPU in the region. This resource usage is limited by quota.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to increase this quota while using 90-day, $300 Free Trial. Have a look at the documentation:

Program coverage:

• You can't request a quota increase. For an overview of Compute Engine quotas, see Resource quotas.

To solve this issue and increase quota, you can upgrade to a paid Cloud Billing account.

Thanks, So, is there any other way to resolve this issue in the free trial account? Is this error region-specific, as the error suggests an Insufficient CPU quota in the region. But, I cannot change the location of the project. – Porras

I doubt that there's any way to solve without upgrading to paid billing account. – Shipway

Answer 2

Each project has an 8 CPU quota limit, not related to projects. 8 CPU quota limit in a region. Every deployment of serverless VPC is using 8 CPUs. So, I use 1 vCPU instance for scaling like F1 micro for Serverless VPC connector.
