Terraform Error: AccountTierLimit - Region Is Forbidden for Your Account Type
Issue
While creating a connector using Terraform, the following error appears:
Code: AccountTierLimit. Message: Region is forbidden for your account type.
Environment
Terraform
Resolution
To resolve this issue, choose either of the following options:
- Update the cloud region in your Terraform configuration to one supported by Google Cloud Platform (GCP). For more information, see our data residency documentation.
- Upgrade your Fivetran pricing plan to an Enterprise or Business Critical plan, which allows you to select specific cloud providers and regions. To learn more, contact your account manager or see our Pricing page.
Cause
Fivetran accounts on a Free, Starter, or Standard plan, are limited to using Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as the cloud service provider. As a result, this issue occurs when you attempt to create a connector in Terraform and specify a region that GCP doesn't support.
