Deploy fails with resource_exhausted despite no quotas being exceeded (Free plan)

[MajorAaron]

Bug Description

CLI and GitHub-triggered deploys consistently fail with [resource_exhausted] Project quota exceeded for your org, please upgrade your plan to increase, despite no quotas being exceeded on the dashboard.

Error Message

X Error: Failed to start deployment: Internal server error: [resource_exhausted] Project quota exceeded for your org, please upgrade your plan to increase

Environment

• CLI version: trigger.dev@4.3.3
• SDK version: @trigger.dev/sdk@4.3.3
• Plan: Free
• Project ref: proj_dwrtapnblfwizjauvzgs
• Org slug: pipelines-3b9e
• Region: us-east-1 (default)
• OS: macOS (Darwin)

What I've Verified on the Dashboard

Quota / Setting	Value
Projects	1 of 10
Team members	1 of 5
Monthly usage	$0.00 of $5.00
Concurrent runs	0 of 20
Schedules	0 of 10
Alert channels	0 of 1
Region	us-east-1 configured as default
Native build server	Enabled
GitHub integration	Connected, main → Production

No quotas are at or near their limits.

Reproduction Steps

1. Created a project on the Free plan
2. Connected GitHub repo (MajorAaron/golden-eye-pipelines) via the GitHub app
3. Set Production branch to main
4. Run npx trigger.dev@latest deploy --env prod
5. Build succeeds locally (Containerfile generated, env vars synced)
6. Fails at "start deployment" API call with resource_exhausted

The same error also blocks GitHub-triggered auto-deploys — the Deployments page shows "Waiting for tasks to deploy" despite multiple pushes to main.

Additional Context

• The error alternates between [resource_exhausted] Project quota exceeded and [aborted] read ECONNRESET on some attempts, suggesting possible server-side instability.
• Enabling "Use native build server" in Project Settings did not resolve the issue.
• The build completes successfully every time — only the remote deployment initiation fails.
• The Trigger.dev status page shows all services Operational, but the API uptime chart shows a recent blip.
• This is a brand new project with zero prior deployments in any environment.
