Can't spinup a droplet with docker-machine

Posted on February 1, 2020

Anytime i try to spin up a droplet using docker-machine I keep getting this error

Error creating machine: Error in driver during machine creation: POST https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/account/keys: 403 There is currently a lock on the account, please log in to the control panel and contact support.

This is the command i used

docker-machine create --driver digitalocean --digitalocean-image ubuntu-18-04-x64 --digitalocean-access-token $DOTOKEN test

Any help please.

ps: I can login to my account on DO without any issues.

@umarmash have you checked you have got the correct auth tokens for the correct account.

If so you need to look at billing as that is normally why we see that error.
