We have temporarily restricted new Temporal Cloud namespace creation across few GCP regions due to compute capacity constraints. Impacted regions are us-central1, us-east4 and europe-west3. Existing namespaces continue to operate normally. For details, available alternatives, and how to request an exception, see https://docs.temporal.io/evaluate/cloud/regions#gcp-capacity-restriction
