Not enough resources. The same error message for 19h.

[Adrien Legrand]

"The zone us-west1-b does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request.  Try a different zone, or try again later."

I had this message for 19h straight and of course I can't change the zone "ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.move) Instance cannot be moved while in state: TERMINATED".

I understood that this message can happen but 19h seems to be a pretty long time to me... I'm starting to feel worried because there is data on the instance that I really don't want to lose.

I'm listening to anything that could help.

can you make a snapshot of the disk, and then make a new instance from the snapshot? If you can't start it that might be a good workaround...

Hi,

As Justin said, you can create a snapshot of the disk and then create a new VM instance using the snapshot; however, when creating the new VM instance choose a different zone within the same region (e.g us-west1-a or us-west1-c) as resources are currently exhausted within the us-west1-b zone.
