OCI A1.Flex Free Tier Limit Exceeded

Oracle Cloud always free allows the creation of a 4CPU/24GB instance. I had one up and decided to put it down and start a fresh one. Then I got the famous "Out of Host Capacity". I understand that they can't guarantee that there is enough resources, so I decided to keep trying both on CLI and on GUI. Sometimes in the middle of the "Out of Host Capacity" I get the "Limit Exceeded" error, does it means that when there is some host capacity they have tried to create this instance and fail because I was over the limit or is it just a bug? Because I have no A1.Flex up. Looking up some similar issues, I reviewed some things, it isn't trying to create a new VCN or subnet and I have more than enough boot volume available. Also I've tried to put up a 3CPU/18GB and also got the "Limit Exceeded" error, and I also have tried to assign a public IP and not assign a public IP. It's also good to mention that I can't try another availability-domain because in this tenancy, it's the only one.

This is the code I'm running every 5 minutes:

--availability-domain fczk:SA-SAOPAULO-1-AD-1 \
--compartment-id {mycompartment} \
--shape VM.Standard.A1.Flex \
--subnet-id {mysubnet} \
--assign-private-dns-record true \
--availability-config {myconfigfile} \
--display-name {chosenname} \
--image-id ocid1.image.oc1.sa-saopaulo-1.aaaaaaaawohyyavvqh2xxi44dwsu2ysqamht2yj54hynxv2bdhltdby6i7xq \
--instance-options {myoptionsfile} \
--shape-config {myshapefile} \
--ssh-authorized-keys-file {mypubkey} \
--boot-volume-size-in-gbs 100

Files:

Most of the time I receive the "Out of Host Capacity", but sometimes I get this error:

    "code": "LimitExceeded",
    "message": "The following service limits were exceeded: standard-a1-memory-count, standard-a1-memory-regional-count, standard-a1-core-count, standard-a1-core-regional-count.

Please visit https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/References/apierrors.htm to learn more about this error code",

    "status": 400
}

limits 1

limits 2

Now I just feel dumb in trying to get a fresh instance... lol

Check your boot volumes. If you deleted a Compute instance without removing the Boot Volume, it seems to count against your limits without being reflected in the limits portal.

All cloud calls are asynchronous, and the limits in Compute are deducted when you launch the instance. The "Out of Host" capacity of the previous launch hasn't returned, and that is why the "limit" error shows up.
