If you get this error: ##[error]No hosted parallelism has been purchased or granted. To request a free parallelism grant., as shown in Figure 1. You can follow the instructions in this article to solve this error.

Figure 1

In order to run pipelines on Microsoft-hosted agents, your Azure DevOps organization must have access to Microsoft-hosted parallel jobs (1). If you don’t have an agent, you can get this error.

Also, Azure Pipelines has temporarily disabled the automatic free grant of Microsoft-hosted parallel jobs in new organizations for public projects and certain private projects.

In such a situation, if we don’t have any parallel jobs, our pipelines will fail with the following error: ##[error]No hosted parallelism has been purchased or granted. To request a free parallelism grant, please fill out the following form https://aka.ms/azpipelines-parallelism-request. If we have zero parallel jobs, we can request a free grant of parallel jobs. To request the free grant of parallel jobs for your organization, submit a request. (2)
