I have been trying to increase Quota for Google Cloud Platform(GCP) Compute Engine API for a Location and it is not allowing me to Edit or Even select the location.

enter image description here

I have tried the same thing before few months back and it was properly working then. I just created a new project and tried the same thing.

I do have the Owner Permission assigned to me.

After concluding that you are in Free Tier, that is part of constraints.

Your free trial credit applies to all Google Cloud resources, with the following exceptions:

  • You can't have more than 8 cores (or virtual CPUs) running at the same time.
  • You can't add GPUs to your VM instances.
  • You can't request a quota increase. For an overview of Compute Engine quotas, see Resource quotas.
  • You can't create VM instances that are based on Windows Server images.
  • You must upgrade your account to perform any of the actions in the preceding list.

Update: To be able to increase Quotas or Submit Quota Increase, you need to:

  • For New Project need to wait for 48hrs
  • You need to have Billing Enabled (Enable it by going into top-left gift icon and following along to Enable Billing in GCP)
