Why am I getting a cluster resource limit error?

Last updated: September 2, 2025

Context

When deploying or running applications, you may encounter an error indicating that your cluster has reached its resource limit. This means your applications are requesting more resources than what is currently available in your cluster.

Answer

When you receive a cluster resource limit error, it indicates that your applications are consuming all available resources in your cluster, preventing new applications from being deployed or running properly. This can occur for two main reasons:

  1. During deployments, your application requires double the resources as both the old and new versions run simultaneously

  2. Your current applications' resource requests exceed the cluster's capacity

To resolve this issue, you have two options:

  1. Reduce your applications' resource requests to fit within the current cluster capacity

  2. Increase your cluster's available resources through the Infrastructure menu
