We’ve hit the monthly limit after 9 days:
Failed to start an instance: FAILED_PRECONDITION: Monthly free compute limit exceeded!
This was mentioned in the issue:
Cirrus-CI might be an alternative, apparently, given this issue and relative PR, although I’m not familiar with them. Recently they introduced a limit to free usage which Python would likely exceed. So someone would have to get in touch and ask for additional resources for Python.
From that blog post:
Starting September 1st 2023, there will be an upper monthly limit on free usage equal to 50 compute credits (which is equal to a little over 16,000 CPU-minutes for Linux tasks).
Cirrus CI shows:
Your current compute credits balance: -0.39
Credits used: 61
CPU hours used: 335
Can we get the limit increased?
