Cannot have more than 0 builds in queue for the account

Question

I'm newbie in AWS, with my free tier account I'm trying to build my nodeJS project with AWS CodeBuild but I get this error:

• Build failed to start The build failed to start. The following error occured: Cannot have more than 0 builds in queue for the account

I followed the simple aws tutorial, leaving all default settings for let aws create all service, image etc for me. Also I stored source code in a AwsCodeCommit repository. Could anybody help me?

Answer 1

I've seen a lot of answers around the web suggesting to call support, which is a great idea, but I was actually able to get around this on my own.

As the root user I went in and put in a current credit card. The one that was currently there was expired. I then deleted my CodeBuild project and create a new one. Now my builds work! It makes sense that AWS just needed a valid payment method before it allowed me to use premium services.

My solution may not work for you, but sure I hope it does!

Answer 2

In my case, there was a security vulnerability in my account and AWS automatically raised a support ticket and suspended all resources that were linked to it. I had to fix it and then on chat with aws support they resumed my service.
