Hi Everyone,

I am using free trial Azure Account. I am trying to build and run a azure DevOps pipeline using self hosted agent and even with Microsoft Agent. we have free parallel jobs for private project but still I am getting No hosted parallelism has been purchased or granted. I have verified Organization settings, it is showing parallel job count 2. how we can fix this to run the pipeline.

    This error occurs because Microsoft enforces limits on hosted parallel jobs, especially for free-tier Azure DevOps organizations. Even though you see "Parallel job count: 2" in the organization settings, free-tier organizations need to request free parallelism manually. You can request Free Parallelism for Your Organization

    You can refer to Azure DevOps Parallelism Request and request to enable the free pipeline agent.

    enter image description here

    Kindly note - Approval may take a few business days and until approval, Microsoft-hosted agents will not run your pipeline.

    Reference Microsoft document
