How did I exceed the runtime memory allowance?

You went over the allowed memory for your IBM Cloud® account.

You're unable to deploy apps, and an error states that you've exceeded your organization's memory limit.

For Pay-As-You-Go or Subscription accounts, there's a 2 GB memory limit.

You can get more memory by upgrading your Lite account. Go to Manage > Account in the IBM Cloud console, and select Account settings. For more information about Lite account features, see Lite account.

If you don't want to upgrade from a Lite account but have some idle apps, you can delete them to free up some runtime memory.
