My question is should we try to increase pod limit and is it possible to increase pod limit in starter plan as I am not able to find the option in setting as mentioned in doc Manage pod-based indexes - Pinecone Docs
Thanks again @admin16 , I’ll have to check internally since you shouldn’t be receiving any error related to pod indexes (or their quota) when creating a Serverless index.
@admin16 - I had a check with our engineering team and we’re unable to reproduce creating a new Serverless index without issue.
One thing we did notice is that your code sample might not be working properly because of the if “quiz” … line, do you have more to the code that might be executing without you realising?
Can you try:
list_index_res = pc.list_indexes() existing_indexes = [ index["name"] for index in list_index_res.indexes ]
