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 and 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 a different region, 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

I think you should contact the Google Cloud Platform Support for this kind of issues.

Open a case asking why your quota increase has not been applied and I am sure they are going to solve this in some days or at least to tell you why your request was declined.

Notice that quoting from the official Documentation "Free Trial accounts do not receive GPU quota by default."
