For some reason this morning several Batch jobs which I’ve attempted to create are getting stuck and not getting past the “Queued” state. As a result no Compute Engine VM ever gets created and nothing happens.
All this was working fine yesterday.
Is this an issue on Google’s backend?
There doesn’t seem to be a widespread issue with the backend. Can you share more details on your job and the details from the describe command
gcloud batch jobs describe --location
When I create a n1**-highmem-16** machine and while utilizing 104Gb and all 16 vCPU’s I have no issues.
However when I create a n1-highmem-32 machine it just hangs and it will not create the Batch job.
When I look into the job itself I notice the Machine type will just display No value as you can see in the screenshot.
I had the same behavior today when attempting to create a vm utilizing a C2 series machine.
Okay, wow.
I ran the command you mentioned @Shamel and I see this message:
"type: SCHEDULING_INFO
The fact that I wanted to use 32 vCPU’s means I’m bypassing some quota? 
How do I raise this?
The page below has details on working with quotas and quota increase requests.
Thank you for all the help, this worked!
