I'm running into this problem, too.

@kmj251 The source of the problem is that there is a default limit range set in you namespace, so if you don't set up the limit on the automation job created in your namespace, the default limit is used. This create a problem if the resources requested are over the default limit.

The work around for this problem is to edit the pod specification in your container group in the instance group.

You will find the option to modify the yaml used to create your job, check it and add limits on the cpu and memory :

added limits

    - ansible-runner
    - worker
    - '--private-data-dir=/runner'
  resources:
    limits:
      cpu: 500m
      memory: 250Mi
    requests:
      cpu: 250m
      memory: 100Mi

@rachid1234 Thanks for the workaround! It worked like a charm.
