Hi all, my company has been using prefect using a cloud run work pool for nearly 1 year now. I was investigating push work pools, so I deleted my old cloud run work pool temporarily (since free tier accounts have a max of 1 allowed). Then when I went to create a new work pool I am only able to use prefect’s managed work pool without upgrading?! The managed work pool doesn’t even allow for custom docker images. I was not clear that deleting my old cloud run work pool would regress the amount of functionality I could have on my free tier account! Please could someone advise what my options are here? Besides upgrading to pay 100$ / month?

Hi Daniel, thanks for reaching out and I’m sorry for the confusion here! Earlier this year, when we rolled out our new self-serve plans, we maintained legacy free-tier setups so teams could continue using their existing deployments and work pools even if they were over the free-tier limits. However, editing or creating new resources isn’t permitted when those limits are exceeded. Since custom work pools are no longer offered on the Hobby tier, deleting the original pool removed access to that legacy functionality. I’ll send you a DM so we can walk through any additional questions you have and discuss the paths forward.

Ok thanks @Bianca Hoch , I appreciate that would be good talk through our options
