Google App Engine error: <gcloud.app.deploy> INVALID_ARGUMENT: the following quotas were exceeded: BACKEND_SERVICES (quota: 5, used: 5 + 1 required)

Question

I am trying to deploy my node application in a flexible Google App Engine environment. It used to work well, but yesterday it started to discard this error:

Error: INVALID_ARGUMENT: The following quotas were exceeded: BACKEND_SERVICES (quota: 5, used: 5 + 1 required)

How can I sort this problem? I still use the free trial loan that Google gives.

Answer 1

By default, you have a quota for the number of versions of GAE Flex 5. Several options that you can expand when you click this limit:

• Stop versions of GAE Flex . If you have running versions that you don’t need, you can stop them to free the backend services they use. This can be done using gcloud or using Cloud Console (go to App Engine => Versions): https://console.cloud.google.com/appengine/versions

• Remove backend services . If you use backend services directly and don’t need them, you can delete them. This can also be done via gcloud or Cloud Console (go to Networking => Load Balancing): https://console.cloud.google.com/networking/loadbalancing/advanced/backendServices/list

• Quota increase . Alternatively, you can request an increase in the backend service quota: https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/6075746?hl=en
