batch pool: PoolQuotaReached

Question

I have upgrade my account in Azure.

I am trying to create a batch pool but it says "The error message "PoolQuotaReached: Pool quota for the account has been reached" indicates that the number of pools in your Azure Batch account has reached the maximum limit allowed by your quota."

But I haven't created any pool yet, so I am very confused why I am geting this error message.

Please, can someone urgently explain how to fix this or how to increase my pool limit ? I have searched on Youtube, but there are a lot of things they click and choose and I don't think I need them all.

All I want is to run a small python script in the data lake and I need to create a pool to execute that.

Hello @Renan Almeida

Do you have any compute nodes ?

The error message "PoolQuotaReached: Pool quota for the account has been reached" indicates that you have reached the maximum number of compute nodes that you are allowed to create in your Batch account.

To resolve this issue, you can either increase the quota or delete some of the existing compute nodes to free up space for new nodes.

To increase the quota for your Batch account, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to the Azure portal and navigate to your Batch account.
2. Click on "Quotas" under the "Settings" section.
3. Select the quota that you want to increase (in this case, the "Dedicated nodes" quota).
4. Click on "Request Increase" and follow the prompts to submit your request.

Once your request is approved, you should be able to create additional compute nodes in your Batch account.

If you prefer to delete some of the existing compute nodes to free up space for new nodes, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to the Azure portal and navigate to your Batch account.
2. Click on "Pools" under the "Settings" section.
3. Select the pool that you want to delete nodes from.
4. Click on "Nodes" and select the nodes that you want to delete.
5. Click on "Delete" and follow the prompts to delete the selected nodes.

Once you have deleted some of the existing compute nodes, you should be able to create additional nodes for your Batch account.
