I have already activated billing but every time I tried to expand the quota it tells me:
'Unfortunately, we are unable to grant you additional quota at this time. If this is a new project please wait 48h until you resubmit the request or until your Billing account has additional history'
I used to be able to get a GPU, but I can't seem to get one right now.
The message is quite clear. The GPU quota increase will be gradually allowed as your Billing account will accumulate additional history
If you want to speed up the process, you might want to get in touch with the
Google Sales Team
As previously mentioned. There is really not much that you can do except for two things:
Reply back to that email so your case gets reopened and you get to talk with a real person and not a bot.
If the real person still tells you that it's not possible to grant you the quota, then consider requesting a lower quantity, if you're already requesting only 1 GPU, then yes, go to the Sales Team and explain your need, they may be able to vouch for you.

I've been trying for a while to figure out if Google Cloud has a mechanism for a "crowbar" limit on API usage, as a security measure.
The scenario I'm concerned about is, say I have an API keyfile on a server, and a hacker steals it and plugs it into their system that (for the purposes of some nebulous scam) is running an unbounded number of translate requests as quickly as possible. I then receive a $25,000 bill. I don't see any mechanisms to really prevent this.
I can limit the roles for that key, but if the hacker's interest is in the same API I use for my project, that doesn't help. I can set a billing limit, but that just sends me an email, and I am not a person who notices incoming email, so in practice it would take me days to realize this had happened.
I can set a quota, but all the quotas in the dashboard seem to be per-minute or per-day limits. I need a per-month quota, and I don't see any way to do it. Am I just missing something, or does Google simply provide no option for this?
I understand that "well just don't let your API key get compromised" is probably the common wisdom, but that's unacceptable to my use cases for a number of reasons, so I'm not interested in discussing it. Thanks!
Edit: I should note, Google's documentation says "you can set requests per day caps" - but there are no instructions on that page for how to do this, and I can see no mechanism for it. I don't want a per-day cap, I want a per-month cap, but I'd take a per-day cap if I could find one. These are the only quotas I see for Cloud Vision, for instance:
Quotas part 1
Quotas part 2
As per Link 1 there is no Hard quota limit for Vision API on a monthly basis . If you need to use this feature you can request for this feature using the link 2.
In the meantime or as workaround you can control your vision API budget by using the Cloud Billing Budget API by following the link 3.
not have enough resources available to fulfill the request try a different zone
All of my machines in the different zone
have the same issue and can not run.
"Starting VM instance "home-1" failed.
Error:
The zone 'projects/extreme-pixel-208800/zones/us-west1-b' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later."
I am having the same issue. I emailed google and figured out this has nothing to do with quota. However, you can try to decrease the need of your instance (eg. decrease RAM, CPUs, GPUs). It might work if you are lucky.
Secondly, if you want to email google again, you will get the message sent from the following template.
Good day! This is XX from Google Cloud Platform Support and I'll be
glad to help you from here. First, my apologies that you’re
experiencing this issue. Rest assured that the team is working hard to
resolve it.
Our goal is to make sure that there are available resources in all
zones. This type of issue is rare, when a situation like this occurs
or is about to occur, our team is notified immediately and the issue
is investigated.
We recommend deploying and balancing your workload across multiple
zones or regions to reduce the likelihood of an outage. Please review
our documentation [1] which outlines how to build resilient and
scalable architectures on Google Cloud Platform.
Again, we want to offer our sincerest apologies. We are working hard
to resolve this and make this an exceptionally rare event. I'll be
keeping this case open for one (1) business day in case you have
additional question related to this matter, otherwise you may
disregard this email for this ticket to automatically close.
All the best,

So, if you ask me how long you are expected to wait and when this issue is likely to happen:
I waited for an average of 1.5-3 days.
During the weekend (like from Friday to Sunday) daytime EST, GCP has a high probability of unavailable resources.
Usually when you have one instance that has this issue, others too. For me, keep trying in different region waste my time. (But, maybe it just that I don't have any luck)
The error message "The zone 'projects/[...]' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later." is always in reference to a shortage of resources in a zone.
Google recommends spreading your workload across different zones to reduce the impact of these issues on your workload. Otherwise, there isn't much else to do other than wait or try another zone/region
Faced this Issue yesterday [01/Aug/2020] when GCP free credit was over and below steps helped to workaround this.
I was on asia-south-c zone and moved to us zone
Going to my Google Cloud Platform >>> Compute Engine
Went to Snapshots >>> created a snapshot >>> Select your Compute Engine instance
Once snapshot was completed I clicked on my snapshot.
Ended up under "snapshot details". There, on the top, just click create instance. Here you are basically creating an instance with a copy of your disk.
Select your new zone, don't forget to attach GPUs, all previous setting, create new name.
Click create, that's it, your image should now be running in your new zone
No worry of losting configuration as well.
I created two virtual machine instances. After the trial they disappear. I already search in the compute engine menu but i can't find anything. Do you know if i can recover them or what can i do?.
After your trial ends, the resources you created during the trial are stopped, but can be restored if you upgrade to a paid account within 30 days.
Within that 30-day period, you can also contact Google Billing Support to export any data you stored in Google GCP services (other than on Compute Engine). After 30 days, your data and resources are not available, even if you upgrade.
You can find more detail at this link.
Update: 2020-12-18
I just have had a chat with google billing support. They confirm that they remove data after 30 days as state here https://cloud.google.com/free/docs/gcp-free-tier#end (They gave me this link )
After the VMs are removed , they will gone forever. You cannot do anything about it.
And they also said that they DO NOT give any email warning that the service is ending and the VMs will be removed.
Very surprised about this and this is like a problem for at least 2 years. And they do nothing about it. It is just one email and very very important one!
They also said "we will send a feedback to our engineering team regarding this incident" Hope that their engineering team will create this email next time.
However, if you have a paid account, it will be different. You will get a warning email ( just one , as I understand) and you will have 7 + 30 days before your vm will be deleted. This is from the chat:
If the account missed a payment, the billing account will go to "Delinquent Status" and after 7 days, the account will be suspended and the service will be interrupted. Which means, the VM's will stop to function.
Once the account is in a delinquent status, the moment it was entered delinquency, you'll receive a notice via email that you need to update the form of payment to remove the delinquency, if not, the account will be suspended.
Once it's suspended, the project will start to go to the period when the project needs to be link to an active account within 30 days, otherwise, the data and resources are gradually deleted from the project if not linked to a working billing account in a span of 30 days.
After the 30 day recovery period, all resources on the project are fully deleted and there are no more means of recovering them, that's what will happen and the stages will experience "if" the account missed a payment or when the card link in the account expires.
As I understand , it will be one email only.
I am using Google Cloud for development and training of deep neural networks. I've reached the limits of what I can do with CPUs and now need to create and instance with one or more GPUs.
I've followed the instructions from multiple sources. As the instance was being created I received a notification that my quota for my region (us-west1) was zero and to request an increase.
I did so and received the confirmation email within minutes. However, when I then attempted to recreate the instance I was again met with the quota increase error.
I submitted another request (same region) but heard nothing.
I tried in a different region, again requesting a quota increase, but heard nothing. I did this 6 times and -- as you might have guessed -- neither received a confirmation email nor was I able to create my instance.
I tried the hack of using Chrome in Incognito mode, but no joy.
This was an issue a few months ago, at least judging from the S/O and Google forum posts. I would think that by now it would be fixed.
Any help would be much appreciated as I'm totally stuck
NB: Cross-posted to the gce-discussion forum
I think you should contact the Google Cloud Platform Support for this kind of issues.
Open a case asking why your quota increase has not been applied and I am sure they are going to solve this in some days or at least to tell you why your request was declined.
Notice that quoting from the official Documentation "Free Trial accounts do not receive GPU quota by default."
Disclaimer: I work for the Google Cloud Support.
Company credit card expiry passed and new expiry details needed putting onto AWS payment methods. Since then billing has failed. I am assuming its because CVS number is not taken by AWS and the bank are rejecting it. (The card has been used for many other things since to make payment so its active).
Is there another way to get around this as the bank won't allow to bypass it. I can't believe there arent any posts from others with similar issues as the payment methods for AWS are rather limiting.
Its ran seamless for a few years now until this happened and I can't get an answer out of ticket system on AWS.
Many thanks.
Its randomly started working again. Very strange.
