Error message when you update the desiredvCpus setting - AWS Batch

You see the following error message when you use the AWS Batch API to update the desired vCPUs (desiredvCpus) setting.

Manually scaling down compute environment is not supported. Disconnecting job queues from compute environment will cause it to scale-down to minvCpus.

This issue occurs if the updated desiredvCpus value is less than the current desiredvCpus value. When you update the desiredvCpus value, both of the following must be true:

  • The desiredvCpus value must be between the minvCpus and maxvCpus values.

  • The updated desiredvCpus value must be greater than or equal to the current desiredvCpus value.
