Error creating more machines using flyctl scale count

[vasallius]

I get this error even if creating those machines won’t put me over 20 machines. I only have around 10 machines, is this really intended?

Error: error creating a new machine: failed to launch VM: To create more than 20 machines per organization please contact billing@fly.io (Request ID: 01HE0CTWN2ZSDM74QMBHT45EQE-sin)

Hi @vasallius, it looks like you might be pretty close to 20 for one organisation. To confirm the number of machines you’ve got, could you run the following and let me know what you see:

fly apps list | tail -n +2 | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -I % sh -c 'fly m list -a % | grep -e "\d\+ machines have been retrieved"'

@jfent

fly apps list | tail -n +2 | awk ‘{print $1}’ | xargs -I % sh -c ‘fly m list -a % | grep -e “\d+ machines have been retrieved”’

outputs nothing on my end

With which organisation was the app you were trying to scale associated?

Try running fly apps list -o ORG_NAME on its own, where ORG_NAME is the answer to the above, and then manually running fly m list -a APP_NAME for each app you see in the list and count the number of machines.

i am able to make new machines now so im fairly certain that was a bug? it often occurs when deploys are failing

hi @jfent , revisiting this:

i have 12 machines (not 20) but now i cannot use fly scale count, is this intended? or should i purchase the 5$ organization?
