Hitting Free Tier Daily Limit During Hackathon - Unable to Continue Work!

Aran_ — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 05:33:04 GMT

Hi Databricks Team,

I’m currently participating in the Databricks Free Edition Hackathon, but I’m running into an issue where I can no longer run my SQL Warehouse or Serverless Cluster.

Each time I try to start the Serverless Starter Warehouse or execute code in a notebook, I receive the following error message:

“Sorry, cannot run the resource because you have hit your free daily limit. Please come back again tomorrow.”

This is blocking my progress in the hackathon since I need to run and test code multiple times throughout the day.

Could you please advise if there’s a way to Extend or reset the daily limit for hackathon participants or to request temporary increased compute quota to continue development and testing?

Here are a couple of screenshots for reference attached below

Any guidance or workaround (e.g., switching to a different cluster type, requesting additional credits, etc.) would be greatly appreciated.

@Louis_Frolio Pls look into this

Unfortunately, there’s not much that can be done if you’ve hit the daily limits. Wishing you the best of luck moving forward.

Cheers, Louis.
