I've been trying to create a zone file in Google Cloud but encountered the bellow error message.

The DNS name (or its child domains) may be reserved or registered already, prohibited by policy, or there may be no DNS name server shards remaining for the name. For more information see https://cloud.google.com/dns/quotas#nameserver_limits.

I used the domain before, but I shutdown the project.

Any solution please kindly help?

  • How long ago did you shutdown the project (resources are not automatically deleted immediately)? Do you have a balance due on the previous project (pay the balance and delete the resources in that project)? Do you own the domain (purchase another domain name)? Edit your question with details. We can only guess with the information provided. – John Hanley May 08 '20 at 04:00
  • 1) No. I don't have any due balance. – Kimsea Sok May 09 '20 at 09:19
  • Can you check your quota ? Run "gcloud compute regions describe example-region" - it's described in the same documentation you linked to. Can you create zones for different domains ? – Wojtek_B May 18 '20 at 08:47

Yup. It appears that deleting projects does not remove the entry reservation.

Undelete the project(s), remove entries and then zone, re-delete project.

I am testing IaC so I probably have 30 deleted projects by now and have put together a script to do the above. I have not been able to find an existing one.
