Upgrade required

PLAN_UPGRADE_REQUIRED

This feature isn't included in your account's current plan. The message names the plan that unlocks it.

What this means​

Some features, such as autoscaling, are included only on higher plans. Services that already use the feature keep running, but it can't be turned on or changed on the current plan.

How to fix it​

Upgrade your plan in the billing portal, then try again. You can also turn the feature off on an existing service.

Retry behavior​

Don't retry. Upgrade first.

How it appears in the response​
