What can I do when I got error message "PoolQuotaReached" on the Azure portal to create a Batch account.

Question

I tried to create a batch account and run a job, referring to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/batch/quick-create-portal.

I got a error message "PoolQuotaReached: Pool quota for the account has been reached" at 7th of "Create a pool of compute nodes" on this page.

I don't know what can I do this situation.

Please advise what I need next.

Hello @ma2jun

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 for your Batch account 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 in your Batch account.
