[error]No hosted parallelism has been purchased or granted. To request a free parallelism grant, please fill out the following form https://aka.ms/azpipelines-parallelism-request

Answer 1

Microsoft has temporarily disabled the free grant of parallel jobs for public projects and for certain private projects in new organizations. However, you can request this grant by submitting a request. Existing organizations and projects are not affected. Please note that it takes us 2-3 business days to respond to your free tier requests.

Answer 2

Microsoft has changed the policy to allow the free tier of a hosted agent pools for public and private projects of newly created DevOps organizations by citing the reason that many are abusing this feature by sending a huge amount of traffic on these hosted agents pools. Due to this reason, many are getting the following error during the build pipeline.
