I can't seem to create any instances because of CPU quotas

I just started my free trial of GCP and I see I have CPUs (all regions) globally set to 32.

When I start an instance (ex. 8 CPUs with 16GB of RAM) it says

Quota 'N2_CPUS' exceeded. Limit: 0.0 in region europe-west4.

Now, if I go to Quotas page and look up the N2 CPUs set for each region, this is set to 0 to ALL regions and I can't upgrade it because they won't accept the request.

This happens with all the CPUs available (N2D, N2, C2) so basically I can't start any instance.

Can anyone try to help me?

Thank you!

While using 12-month, $300 free trial you have some limitations like:

  • You can't have more than 8 cores (or virtual CPUs) running at the same time.

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

You must upgrade your account to perform any of the actions in the preceding list.

To request an increase in quotas you should follow steps below:

  1. Enable billing for your account.
  2. Go to Quotas page.
  3. Select the quotas you want to change.
  4. Click the Edit Quotas button and follow instructions to submit your request.

A support representative from the Compute Engine team will respond to your request within 24 to 48 hours. After that you'll get a confirmation that your request was approved, but in some cases your request could be declined for some reasons:

Please be informed that we are unable to proceed with your request, for this resource was quite high and needs capacity planning with our sales team. We recommend for you to contact sales team for capacity planning.

Accordingly to this reply, N2 vCPUs are on high demand at the moment and you should contact with Google Sales Team to get your quota increased. There's no other way. Unfortunately, Stack Overflow community can do nothing in such cases.
