Specifically, this happened to us. We have a GKE cluster with two similarly-sized node pools. One has E2 nodes and the other has C2D nodes. We wanted to temporarily double the size of our E2 nodepool and checked the quotas page first. The only quota in the entire GCP project that was above 20% was "CPUs" at 55%.  We reasoned that since only half of our machines were in the nodepool we wanted to double, this would only raise us to around 80-85% of quota, which seemed safe for a temporary change. We were surprised to see our scale-up fail due to quota.  (And then we clumsily tried to quickly scale down to get below quota using direct GCE ASG scaling rather than GKE autoscaler, which ended up deleting a bunch of our more active machines instead of the empty ones — perhaps user error, but a bigger impact than we had expected for what we thought was going to be a simple "scale up fast, let it scale down slowly once our temporary need was over".)

Had the human-readable label in the UI said "E2 and N1 CPUs" instead of "CPUs" we would not have made that mistake: we would have tried for a smaller scale-up or requested more quota first.

I assume that the "internal"/computer-readable name `CPUS` is unlikely to change for compatibility reasons, but hopefully the UI display name is less hardcoded?

Hello ka...@google.com,

You write:  I kindly request you to file a support ticket by clicking [here][1].
"[here][1]" though is not a link!
I tried creating a new support ticket as you mention using the user menu but I get the message: "Your current support plan doesn't offer this benefit. Select a new offering to continue creating cases. "
Do I have to pay in order to get support for something that was supposed to be working? I am paying for 200GB and I cannot use 85GB which is supposed to be free space!!
