You’re usually stuck waiting for GPU quota on Google Cloud because GPU capacity is limited and quotas are enforced per project/region, so approval isn’t always immediate.

Common reasons:

  • Regional capacity shortage: Even if quota is approved, the specific GPU type in that region may be out of stock.
  • New project / no trust history: Google may manually review requests for larger or uncommon GPU allocations.
  • Account/billing standing: Issues with billing, unpaid invoices, or verification can delay approval.
  • High-demand GPU types: Popular or newer GPUs often have stricter limits.
  • Quota request size: Large jumps in requested quota can trigger longer review times.
  • Policy/abuse checks: Automated or manual checks may delay approval.

What you can do:

  1. Check the quota request status in the Google Cloud Console.
  2. Try another region where the same GPU type may have available capacity.
  3. Request a smaller quota first, then increase later.
  4. Use a different GPU family if your workload allows.
  5. Contact Google Cloud Support if the request has been pending unusually long.
  6. Verify billing and project settings are in good standing.

If you want, I can help you figure out whether the delay is likely due to quota approval vs actual regional GPU stock/capacity and tell you how to check both.
