How to re-add a container in Bluemix

When I try to add a container to space A in bluemix I receive the following error:

BXNUI0521E: While attempting to create a container from the image, an internal error with incident ID 747-1463152155.505-13996376 occurred. Some resources, such as an IP address or memory, were not available when the namespace was being retrieved.

Also when I run cf ic login in space A I receive:

{
    "code": "IC5005E", 
    "description": "The maximum quota for this organization is 2 floating IPs and 2048 memory. The action you are trying to complete, such as logging into a new space, would exceed the maximum quota. The current floating IP usage is 2 and this action would require an additional 2. The current memory usage is 2048 and this action would require an additional 2048. Reduce usage for the organization or ask your organization manager to adjust the quota allocation in the Manage Organizations page.", 
    "incident_id": "744-1463151704.272-14000754", 
    "name": "IPAndMemoryQuotaExceeded", 
    "rc": "500", 
    "type": "Quota"
}

I believe this is because I created a container in space B, which assigned two IP addresses to it. I have since deleted this space. How do I reduce the floating IP usage down to 0?

Solution

With this quota (2 IP addresses and 2048 MB) I am assuming you have a Bluemix free account.

In this case you can only create containers in one single space within your organization. Once you created containers in space B you cannot create any containers in space A (even if you have enough quota for that).

You mentioned you deleted space B (where you originally created containers), so you will have wait a while (usually within 24 hours or less) so your account is reset.

After that you will be able to login again to a new space, create a new namespace and start using containers again.
