Issue description
When creating a resource in Yandex Cloud, you get this error message:
message: Quota limit vpc.externalStaticAddresses.count exceeded;
status: 429; description: Quota limit vpc.externalStaticAddresses.count exceeded;
code: GATEWAY_REQUEST_ERROR; Request ID: ******-****-****-****-********;

Solution
This error means that you exhausted the Number of static public IP addresses quota.
To fix this issue, you need to request the quota increase using this form in the management console or delete unused IP addresses if you have any.
You can also decrease the number of addresses in use by providing the internet access to multiple VMs via a NAT instance or NAT gateway.
