GCP doesn't allow me to create a new project even if no other project is active

mg flag

I'm trying out GCP and I have run into this issue. I shut down all active projects and now I want to create a new one but it says I have reached the quota. There are no active projects, all of the projects are scheduled for deletion. I can restore an empty project (or any other project pending deletion) and it will work, but I cannot create a new one through the GUI or through the CLI. How can that be solved?

The number of projects that you can create is limited by the project limit quota. When you delete a project, the project is moved to a deleted status but not removed from your account for 30 days. You can recover a deleted project during those 30 days. The quota is the combined number of active and deleleted projects.

You have two choices:

  1. Wait for 30 days for the deleted project to be removed from your account.
  2. Undelete one of your projects and continue with that project.
  3. Request a project limit quota increase. Google might ask you to make an advance payment to increase your quota.

I thought that just by shutting down the project it would free the quota. Since I'm just experimenting with the platform, restoring a project seems the best option for now. Thank you!

It seems like deleting projects with your "billable account" active on it, disables you to create new projects with your billable account. However, restoring the project, disabling billing under "Billing projects", and then deleting them again (not required), allowed me to continue creating more projects with the same billing account. It seems like I can have 4 concurrent billable projects before reaching the quota

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
