Always Free Ampere A1 instance disabled

edited Aug 19, 2026 9:24AM in OCI - General 3 comments

Summary:

My Always Free Ampere A1 instance was disabled after the recent enforcement of the updated Free Tier limits. I need the instance to be temporarily re-enabled so that I can resize it to the new Always Free limit.

Content:

Tenancy type: Always Free / Free Tier
Region: eu-amsterdam-1
Shape: VM.Standard.A1.Flex
Current configuration: 4 OCPUs / 24 GB RAM
Target configuration: 2 OCPUs / 12 GB RAM

When I attempt to resize or perform any other action on the instance, OCI returns the following error:

"Instance ocid1.instance.oc1.eu-amsterdam-1....mcpsga is disabled and will not accept any action requests. Please contact customer support to reenable."
