Heroku asks me to subscribe to Eco to scale dynos. I'm already subscribed to Eco


Pretty much the title. When trying to spin up an eco dyno for my app in the Resources section of the Dashboard, I get the following error:

Item could not be updated: Subscribe to Eco to scale your dynos. Learn more at https://blog.heroku.com/new-low-cost-plans

I can see that I am subscribed to Eco in the Billing section, and can see 1000 hours remaining (0% used).

Is there a wait before I can spin up dynos after subscribing to the Eco subscription? Or does it only kick in on the 1st of the next month?

I tried using the CLI and the Dashboard to scale a dyno. On the CLI I tried heroku ps:scale web=1 and on the Dashboard I tried the toggle under the Resources section. Both tell me to subscribe to Eco to scale dynos.


Solution

  • For some reason collaborators can choose to pay for the Eco Plan, but only app owners can enable the dyno. I had access to the repository so I just created my own Heroku app and enabled dynos.
