When can I create instance with the same instance ID as instance deleted before?

[Jumpei Ogawa]

Hi,

I tried to create instance with instance ID "xxx-master", but I couldn't and got error message:

"This instance ID isn't available because it was used recently"

I have created and deleted an instance named "xxx-master" yesterday, so that seems the reason why I got above error.

But how long do I have to wait to create instance with the same ID again?

# BTW I posted request to remove this restriction on UserVoice:
# http://googlecloudplatform.uservoice.com/forums/302613-cloud-sql/suggestions/9919266-bug-cannot-create-instance-with-the-same-name-as

Thank you in advance,

Jumpei

Hi Jumpei,

As stated in this article, the name of the deleted instance is unavailable for up to two months before it can be reused.

Thank you Kamran.

Oh, 2 monthes are so long...
I will consider another name.

Hope this restriction is removed in the future...

Sincerely,
Jumpei
