This page discusses some of the error messages encountered in Cloud SQL.
OverviewError messages in Cloud SQL come from many sources and appear in many places. Some error messages come from the database engines themselves, some from the Cloud SQL service, some from client applications, and some are returned by calls to the Cloud SQL Admin API.
This page includes some of the most common errors seen in Cloud SQL. If you do not find the error code or message you are looking for here, you can look for source reference material here:

Error message Troubleshooting Allocated IP range not found in network. VPC peerings were not updated after an allocated range was modified or removed.You need to modify the private connection. Use the following command, and make sure to use the --force
argument:
gcloud services vpc-peerings update \ --network=VPC_NETWORK \ --ranges=ALLOCATED_RANGES \ --service=servicenetworking.googleapis.com \ --forceError message Troubleshooting Bad request. This message can have many causes.
Illegal Argument
is one of the most common. In this case, the request is using either the wrong argument or an invalid value for the argument. For the many other causes, the error message might contain a useful hint.
For Illegal Argument
, check the request to make sure each argument is permissible and each value for the argument is valid. For all other causes, check the log files to see if there is more information there.
You need to modify the private connection. Use the following command, and make sure to use the --force
argument:
gcloud services vpc-peerings update \ --network=VPC_NETWORK \ --ranges=ALLOCATED_RANGES \ --service=servicenetworking.googleapis.com \ --forceConnection reset by peer.
If you're trying to perform an export and Cloud Storage doesn't receive any data within a certain time frame, then the connection resets.
Try a manual export using pg_dump
.
Authorized Networks
configuration. Authorized Networks
are configured for public IP addresses in the Connectivity section of the Google Cloud console, and cloning isn't permitted due to security considerations.
Remove all Authorized Networks
entries from the Cloud SQL instance if you can. Otherwise, create a replica without any Authorized Networks
entries.
user
does not exist. gcloud sql connect --user
only works with the default postgres
user.
Connect with the default user and then change users.
Disk is full. The primary instance disk size can become full during replica creation.Edit the primary instance to upgrade it to a larger disk size.
Error message Troubleshooting Failed to create subnetwork. No more available addresses in the IP range.Couldn't find free blocks in allocated IP ranges. Please allocate new ranges for this service provider.
There are no more available addresses in the allocated IP range.
Consider these possible scenarios:
For each of the above scenarios, you can elect to either expand the existing or allocate an additional IP range to the private service connection.
If you're allocating a new range, take care to not create an allocation that overlaps with any existing allocations.
After creating a new IP range, update the VPC peering with the following command:
gcloud services vpc-peerings update \ --service=servicenetworking.googleapis.com --ranges=OLD_RESERVED_RANGE_NAME,NEW_RESERVED_RANGE_NAME \ --network=VPC_NETWORK --project=PROJECT_ID \ --force
If you're expanding an existing allocation, take care to only increase the allocation range and not decrease it. For example, if the original allocation was 10.0.10.0/24, make the new allocation at least 10.0.10.0/23.
In general, if starting from a /24 allocation, decrementing the /mask by 1 for each condition (additional instance type group, additional region) is a good rule of thumb. For example, if trying to create both instance type groups on the same allocation, going from /24 to /23 is enough.
After expanding an existing IP range, update the vpc peering with following command:
gcloud services vpc-peerings update \ --service=servicenetworking.googleapis.com --ranges=RESERVED_RANGE_NAME \ --network=VPC_NETWORK \ --project=PROJECT_ID \ --forceError message Troubleshooting (gcloud.sql.connect) It seems your client does not have ipv6 connectivity and the database instance does not have an ipv4 address. You're trying to connect to your private IP instance using Cloud Shell.
Connecting from Cloud Shell to an instance with only a private IP address isn't currently supported.
Error message Troubleshooting Internal error. The project could be missing the Service Networking service account required for this feature.To repair service permissions, disable the Service Networking API
, wait five minutes and then re-enable it.
Service Networking API
isn't enabled in the project.
Enable the Service Networking API
in your project. If you see this error when you're trying to assign a private IP address to a Cloud SQL instance, and you're using a Shared VPC, you also need to enable the Service Networking API
for the host project.
Service Networking API

Enable the Service Networking API
in your project. If you see this error when you're trying to assign a private IP address to a Cloud SQL instance, and you're using a Shared VPC, you also need to enable the Service Networking API
for the host project.
Wait for the previous operation to finish before beginning another.
Operation isn't valid for this instance. This error is returned from an API call toinstances.restoreBackup
, and it means that you cannot restore from backup to an instance with a storage size (XX GB) smaller than the backup size (YY GB).
Edit the target instance to increase its storage size.
Error message Troubleshooting Password authentication failed for user "postgres". When you create a new Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance, the default admin userpostgres
is created but not the password. You need to set a password for this user before the user can log in. Error message Troubleshooting Quota exceeded. You reached the limit of your per-minute or daily quota. Review the quotas and limits for Cloud SQL.
Request an increase to your quotas from the Google Cloud console.
Error message Troubleshooting Remaining connection slots are reserved. The maximum allowed connections have been reached.Increase the value of the max_connections
flag. See Configuring database flags.
Verify that you have a valid service account key JSON file in the location stored in the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
environment variable and that the variable points to the correct location.
Create a new server certificate and rotate.
System error occurred.Try these things ...
WRITER
permissions on the bucket and READER
permissions on the export file. For more information on configuring access control in Cloud Storage, see Create and Manage Access Control ListsThe dump transaction can fail if you use the following statements during the export operation:
ALTER TABLE
CREATE TABLE
DROP TABLE
RENAME TABLE
TRUNCATE TABLE
Remove any of these statements from the dump operation.
Temporary file size exceeds temp_file_limit. Thetemp_file_limit
flag is set too low for your database usage.
Increase the temp_file_limit
size. See Configuring database flags.
Use the CSV format and run multiple, smaller export jobs to reduce the size and length of each operation.
Too many connections. Setting themax_connections
flag value too high can cause this error. This can also be caused by enabling a flag out of sequence.
Lower the max_connections
flag value, or contact customer support to request a flag removal followed by a hard drain
. This forces the instance to restart on a different host with a fresh configuration, without the flag or setting.

.The following table shows some known cases where an Unknown Error
can occur, and lists specific remedies where applicable. However, this is not a complete list. If you don't find your case in the table, check with the public issue tracker for Cloud SQL. If you don't find the issue there, consider submitting a report, or reviewing other support options.
Quota 'INTERNAL_FORWARDING_RULES_WITH_TARGET_INSTANCE_PER_NETWORK' exceeded. Limit: 100.0 globally
If the error is set Service Networking service account as servicenetworking.serviceAgent role on consumer project
, disable and re-enable the Service Networking API
. This action creates the service account necessary to continue with the process.
If the error is The instance creation failed due to a permission error with the CMEK key defined
, review the key settings and location.
Cloud SQL also uses some third-party binaries (for example, mysqld
), which can generate unknown error messages. Such errors are internal to the third-party binaries and are outside the scope of Cloud SQL. However, sometimes a more specific error can be found in the Cloud SQL log files at around the same time.
Also, sometimes it is an error code that is unknown. In this case, the complete message can be Unknown Error Code
