Cannot Increase GPU Quota on Google Cloud...

[Joe Antol]

I am using Google Cloud for development and training of deep neural networks.  I've reached the limits of what I can do with CPUs and now need to create an instance with one or more GPUs.

I've followed the instructions from multiple sources.  As the instance was being created I received a notification that my quota for my region (us-west1) was zero and to request an increase.

I did so and received the confirmation email within minutes.  However, when I then attempted to recreate the instance I was again met with the quota increase error.

I submitted another request (same region) but heard nothing.

I tried in different regions (us-central1 and us-east1), again requesting a quota increase, but heard nothing.  I did this 6 times and -- as you might have guessed -- neither received a confirmation email nor was I able to create my instance.

I tried the hack of using Chrome in Incognito mode, but no joy.

This *was* an issue a few months ago, at least judging from the S/O and Google forum posts.  I would think that by now it would be fixed.

Any help would be much appreciated as I'm totally stuck

Hello Joe, 

I checked your project and there is no GPU quota assigned yet. 

I can confirm, your requests for the GPU quota increase have been received by the corresponding team. You have followed the right process, please wait for the team to respond on your GPU quota increase requests. In addition, Can you please provide more details on the confirmation email you have mentioned, received within minutes? Was it GPU quota approval confirmation email?

Hello Joe, 

I am just trying to follow up on the status of this issue. Upon checking your project, I see that there is a GPU allowed to us-west1. Can you please let me know if you are still finding trouble assigning this resource to an instance ?
