Request to enable EU-FRANKFURT-1 region for Free Tier (capacity issues in EU-MADRID-1)

Alberto CandauMay 10 2026

Hello Oracle team,

I have an OCI Free Tier account with EU-MADRID-1 as the home region. For over 2 days, the region has had no compute capacity available and I am unable to create any Always Free A1.Flex instances. I have made 500+ automated attempts via script, all returning "Out of host capacity" in AD-1 (the only availability domain in Madrid).

Since my Free Tier tenancy only supports one subscribed region, I cannot enable another region myself. Could a moderator please change my home region to EU-FRANKFURT-1?

Tenancy OCID: ocid1.tenancy.oc1..aaaaaaaa3znfk7uhh65bbnfk7kfeumlnnirnfdn6vpp7kx4czplhlunmge3q
Current region: eu-madrid-1
Requested region: eu-frankfurt-1

Thank you very much.
