Hello,

I can see you are receiving the `Quota 'CPUS' exceeded` for region ‘asia-south1’. I understand this is the first VPS (Virtual private server) or VM instance you are creating in this project. Now this error message also shows you have your limit 0.0 at region ‘asia-south1’, that means you do not have any quota in this region.

 You can also see this log from Cloud Logging and following log queries 

resource.type="gce_instance"

protoPayload.status.message="QUOTA_EXCEEDED"

Now the quota you are seeing (from screenshot 3 and 4) is mentioning “INSTANCES-per-project-region” is different from CPUs quota. Now if you visit the quota page by Navigating Menu > IAM & Admin > Quotas and then search for ‘Metric:compute.googleapis.com/cpus’ and then click on “ALL QUOTAS” after that again search for ‘location:asia-south1’ you can see your quota.

As a way out you can either choose another region where you have sufficient CPUs quota and try again or follow the documentation to request a higher quota.

Please note that the 90-day, $300 Free Trial accounts can not request for quota increase.
