Are you exceeding the max available instances/resources limits?

11984 Ford Laser Are you exceeding the max available instances/resources limits?

fareOP•10/24/25, 4:46 AM

Yes, it says
There is no container instance that can be provided to this Durable Object, try again later

and when I try to increase instances in wrangler.toml myself it says

SURPASSED_TOTAL_LIMITS
reason This application requires more than the allocated quota of vcpus in
this account to run all its requested instances of count 40.
used_vcpu 0
remaining_vcpu 100
requested_vcpu 160

1984 Ford Laser•10/24/25, 4:46 AM

>requested_vcpu - 160
>remaining_vcpu - 100

That might be an issue lol

11984 Ford Laser >requested_vcpu - 160 >remaining_vcpu - 100 That might be an issue lol

fareOP•10/24/25, 4:47 AM

Yes, but how do I get more instances I just need them.

Our prod isn't scaling an it has become an issue

1984 Ford Laser•10/24/25, 4:49 AM

Decrease max instances to stay under the vcpu limit. These limits will be increased over time as the platform matures and kinks are worked out

fareOP•10/24/25, 4:52 AM

this message doesnt show up in production, it shows when i try to deploy the wrangler.toml with more instances
the reason why I am increasing it because we are getting this error

There is no container instance that can be provided to this Durable Object, try again later

Change getRandom(env.API, 25)getRandom(env.API, 25) to a more reasonable value

1984 Ford Laser•10/24/25, 4:59 AM

You obviously don't have 25 instances available

1984 Ford Laser•10/24/25, 5:00 AM

Like if it randomly routes to container # 25 does it assume that 1-24 are already consumed or something?

fareOP•10/24/25, 5:08 AM

It randomly picks one of 25 instances. That is how getRandom works

Hi. I have been tricked by an ad/review on the website www.theresanaiforthat.com into purchasing a year subscription of www.v93ai . The former Site advertised this A I Tool specifically as an "Illegal" Video Generator , meaning basically that it was promoted as an Agent which can be used to generate Adult or Explicit Content. For $82.00 I discovered instantly that it did not! I've emailed the company outlining my dissatisfaction but
it hasn't got through, it just returned to my email. So I'm here asking you, what is my next step & how do I go about getting a refund from these people? I'd appreciate some advice.
Many thanks.

lemmein•10/24/25, 5:10 AM

The Agent is called v03ai.

since ~2200-0000UTC last night, still ongoing, we've started seeing a whole bunch of CF internal errors thrown by our containers when trying to communicate with DOs

e.g. internal error; reference = 0sp6nv1fqj06ub0q9b0qbfjqinternal error; reference = 0sp6nv1fqj06ub0q9b0qbfjq

any ideas? :sweat_heh:

Lulu•10/25/25, 7:40 AM

Since DOs are billed separately, I was curious: Is the durable object tied to the container always running as long as the container is? i.e. unable to hibernate and continuously charged

kian•10/25/25, 1:28 PM

Yes & no - your DO doesn’t necessarily have to be around but currently does influence the lifetime of your Container, I.E sleepAfter in the Containers library starts after DO inactivity

kian•10/25/25, 1:29 PM

We’re working on moving lifecycles to more Containers APIs so the DO doesn’t have to be around to do any of that though

kian•10/25/25, 1:29 PM

Either way we’re looking at reducing or entirely removing the DO wall-time billing when using Containers: containers-beta

<@235148962103951360>•10/25/25, 6:09 PM

Is there a way to run something just before a container goes to sleep/is destroyed? I'd like to collect some files and other info from the container before it is destroyed.
(edit: found the function)

Please do not ping community members for non-moderation reasons. Doing so will not solve your issue faster and will make people less likely to want to help you.

PhoenixSpace•10/26/25, 3:45 PM

Are containers billed off of the maximum allocated resources of the instance type, or the actual used resources of the container? i.e. if I have a standard-4 instance, will I always be billed for 12 GiB of memory and 20GB of storage, or just the memory and storage the application is using

<@235148962103951360>•10/26/25, 4:48 PM

This has been stuck here for a long time now

pandalambda2•10/27/25, 1:15 AM

The allocated resources of the instance type, not dependent on what the application actually uses within the container, the only variability is the egress your application uses.

1984 Ford Laser•10/27/25, 4:34 AM

Has anyone tested the performance of ffmpeg/video encoding on Containers, especially with the newer instance types? Have some use cases I could move off EC2 if this worked well (GPU access would be sick too, but I imagine this isn't on the short-medium term timeline)

Hassan•10/27/25, 7:14 AM

Did anyone tried hosting game servers on containers? Would be a good use for my business, If containers can be hosted on all edge networks in cloudflare then i would have to pay significantly less for bandwidth on containers than dealing with hosting resellers. The games i host would have 60gb+ images, Not sure if i can host that large container that can spin up fast and are there charges for hosting that large image?

this is still very much an issue, in fact even more so now - i have no idea what to do with these internal cloudflare errors, does anybody know of any way to shed some light on these?

Is it possible to accurately record the duration of a container lifecycle for containers I'm running on behalf of my users? More specifically these containers are serving long-lived requests & am currently hooking into onStart/onStop as well as a rudimentary "heartbeat"

<@235148962103951360>•10/28/25, 8:10 AM

Is there a way to choose what region a container is created in? I just had a container created very far from the user. Not sure why

<@235148962103951360>•10/28/25, 12:51 PM

How do I send a request from a container to the worker/durable object?

<@235148962103951360>•10/28/25, 1:49 PM

Is there any way to kill a container instance from the dashboard? I couldn't find a way

<@235148962103951360>•10/28/25, 1:54 PM

I am making requests from Australia but it is making the instance in the USA or India

Paul•10/28/25, 2:11 PM

How can I delete or set a TTL to auto delete a container instance? My use case is running batch jobs in containers (one time) then I will never use that instance again, they are just piling up in my dashboard and I can see many of them using ~~wrangler containers images list~~~~wrangler containers images list~~ I just realized this is the WRONG command, that is for 'images' , not 'instances' - I want to delete instances, not images.

Paul•10/28/25, 2:34 PM

I don't want to sleep, because this is a one time job, it's ephemeral, so I literally want it deleted after use.
Currently researching if there is an event I can capture to run a delete workflow - or something like that.

or do you mean to remove it entirely from the instances list

<<@235148962103951360>Click to see attachment

Paul•10/28/25, 2:48 PM

I want to remove/delete the instance, because I've read there is a 50 GB space limit in Beta, so these dead instances are just taking up space. They will literally NEVER be run again, so it's just a waste of space.

<<@235148962103951360>or do you mean to remove it entirely from the instances list

Paul•10/28/25, 2:59 PM

This is what I'm trying to do.

Paul•10/28/25, 3:14 PM

To be 100% clear, these are the resources I want to either auto clean up or manually do in an event triggered way
