When using a trial account, Fly apps are limited to one machine. However, this seems to include destroyed machines. So a trial account with a destroyed machine can’t create new machines. Surely this isn’t intended?
Hey @kot,
For a trial account you can only have one machine per app and since you can have only two apps then you can have a maximum of two machines.
Destroyed machines don’t count towards this. A trial account with a destroyed machine should be able to create a new machine
I don’t seem to be able to create a new machine in an app if there’s one that is destroyed. Probably a bug, are you able to reproduce this?
For example, I have this machine under the app coder-workspaces
When I run
fly m run --region lax -a coder-workspaces ubuntu, I get:
Searching for image 'ubuntu' remotely...
image found: img_e1zd4mxx7onv02yw
Image: registry-1.docker.io/library/ubuntu:latest
Image size: 30 MB
Error could not launch machine: failed to launch VM: To create more than 1 machine per app please add a payment method. https://fly.io/dashboard/yukata/billing

Thanks for calling this out: we were able to reproduce this with a trial account. I’ll make sure that we look into it as soon as we can

We’ve identified the bug and you should be able to create your machine without seeing the error message.
Please let us know if you run into any issues.

Hi,
I have been having the same problem when. We are not in trial. We have a maximum peak of 15 machines but currently we only have 8 machines (including the fly-builder-spring-morning-1220 ) and still we are having an error during the deploy via git hub actions.
He is the error:
✖ Failed: error creating a new machine: failed to launch VM: To create more than 20 machines per organization please contact billing@fly.io
