## TL;DR

If the instance will not launch, check region availability for that GPU type and try a different region or a different GPU.

## Fix

1. If the instance will not launch, check region availability for that GPU type and try a different region or a different GPU.
   Expected: you can confirm this matches your situation.

## When to use

- You are setting up or using this Lambda GPU cloud feature.
- The symptom matches: instance will not launch and idle-instance billing.

## When NOT to use

- Unrelated Lambda GPU cloud issues (different feature, different failure).
- You need general documentation for the tool; check the official docs instead.

## Compatibility

Reported against Lambda GPU cloud. Source: https://github.com/majiayu000/hermes-agent/blob/HEAD/optional-skills/mlops/lambda-labs/SKILL.md.

## Variant phrasings

### instance will not launch and idle-instance billing

## Why it happens

No capacity in your region is a capacity problem, not an account problem.

## Edge cases

- If your error message differs even slightly, this is probably a different issue; search the exact text.
- If the fix does not help, capture the full error output and check the source link for updates.
