FAQ: Resolving "Out of Stock" Errors

Last Updated: Mar 31, 2026

Introduction

Attempting to create an instance via the Crusoe Cloud API or CLI yields the following error: "The requested resource is out of stock"

Question 1: Is there enough capacity within the region you are trying to schedule the instance in?

Answer
Query the API to see capacity

• The "requested resource is out of stock" error indicates that you may need to target a separate region based on instance SKU availability for a given region. For example:
  For non-infiniband (IB) instances, such as A100/L40S PCIE, you would need to target the us-east1-a region or another region with that SKU.
• You can use the API endpoint api/v1alpha5/capacities to see how much capacity exists in a region.
  See API documentation for more information

Question 2: Do you have enough capacity within the Infiniband network you are trying to schedule the instance in?

Answer
Navigate to Infiniband within Networking on your Crusoe Cloud console. Verify you have capacity within an Infiniband network:

In the above example you could only create an H100 VM on us-east1-a H100-80GB SXM IB Network 5 and only if you have a partition within that network:

Contact Crusoe Support after verifying the following and if you are still receiving an out of stock error:

• Capacity exists for a given VM type.
• You have capacity within the Infiniband network.
• You have a partition within that Infiniband network.
• You have specified the correct Infiniband Partition ID within your Terraform, CLI command, or other method to create the VM.
