How do I stop a deleted codespace

[MrBenBrittonHVHS]

Hi all

I'm very new to GitHub and Codespaces (education user). While I was playing around I started several (10ish) Codespaces until I hit the maximum and got the message to stop some.

Instead of stopping them I deleted them.

Now I only see two active Codespaces, when I try to create a new one I get the maximum error and it resurrects one of the deleted spaces as innactive (and unstoppable). If I stop one of my two active spaces I can start a new one. I seem to be limited to two Codespaces now, if I stop one of my two active spaces I can start a new one.

Use the GitHub CLI: If you're comfortable with the command line, you can also use the GitHub CLI to manage your codespaces.

To use the GitHub CLI to manage your Codespaces, you first need to have it installed. If you haven't done so yet, you can follow the installation instructions from the GitHub CLI documentation.

• You can list your codespaces and see their statuses using:

gh codespace list 

Stopping or Deleting Codespaces

If you find any Codespaces that are still in an inactive state and you want to stop or delete them, you can use the following commands:

• To stop a Codespace (replace CODESPACE_NAME with the actual name of your codespace):

gh codespace stop CODESPACE_NAME

• To delete a Codespace:

gh codespace delete CODESPACE_NAME

If you still encounter the issue after trying the above steps, it may be best to contact GitHub Support. They can help you resolve any lingering issues with your Codespaces and ensure that your account is functioning correctly.

If you're on a free tier, there may be stricter limits compared to paid plans.

The same issue, storage usage of code space still arise even though not connecting to it.
I still receive message that code space attempts restart, event though container has been deleted very long time.
