Build an SQL Reference Object - Build an SQL Reference Object

Tell us what’s happening:

I am not able to create a new codespace or work in my previous ones.
It keeps showing me the error
“You are out of monthly free usage or have exceeded your budget for Codespaces. Increase your budget to continue using Codespaces.”
Please help

Have you tried deleting old or unused codespaces?

Ya deleted 2 codespaces and yet there was no change

Then this means you have exhaused your free usage. To confirm, on Github, got to ;

  • settings → Billing & Licencing → Budgets & alerts
    Check you codespace budget. If it’s set to $0 , then you’ll need to increase your usage by increasing your budget.

It shows $0 spent → $0 budget
But I never paid for anything on github on the first place
Earlier it used to give a message like this is paid for by freeCodeCamp (whenever I went to make a new codespace)
I don’t really have a budget
I am at freeCodeCamp because it is free

FreeCodeCamp is entirely free, the limit you’re hitting is actually from Github. FreeCodeCamp uses GitHub Codespaces to provide a virtual computer for you to work on. GitHub gives every user a free monthly allowance. If a codespace is left running in the background, or if you code for many hours, you can use up that free allowance. Once it runs out, GitHub pauses your access until your next monthly cycle starts.

So what is my solution

You’ll have to wait for a reset or pay for more usage. Alternatively, if you have another github account that is not limited, complete the lessons using it.

or, if you are able to, do the local setup, that does not depend on any cloud service

github codespaces and ona are added as alternatives for who can’t do the local setup, they have a free quota
