GCE create multiple VMs at once

I create multiple VMs via node.js API in the same zone from the same image. The API response seems fine. But I can only see 2 VMs in the google cloud console. Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong?

 // this is called multiple times with different vmNames:
 const Compute = require('@google-cloud/compute');
 const compute = new Compute();
 const zone = compute.zone('us-central1-a');
 await zone.createVM(vmName, config).then(async (data) => {
            const vm = data[0];
            const operation = data[1];
            const apiResponse = data[2];

            var vmid = data[2].id;
            console.log('created vm ' + vmid); // is called multiple times, but in reality only 2 VMs are created

});

Seems that I exceed my quota.

quotaExceeded "IN_USE_ADDRESSES" limit 8

But why and what can I do?

As stated before, you might need to request a quota increase for your Google Project.

Also, here is the information regarding quota increase and external IP addresses.

In-use external IP addresses include both ephemeral and static IP addresses that are currently being used by a resource.

If the same IP address is assigned to more than one forwarding rule, Google Cloud counts and adds each usage of the address towards the IN_USE_ADDRESSES quota rather than a unique count of IP address objects that are used.

Here is a detailed guide on how to request a quota increase for the IP’s
