Canister deployment price

[alexeychirkov]

Hello

I would like to deploy the canister to public subnet using dfx deploy --network=ic

I get the following error:

The Replica returned an error: code 5, message: "Canister XXX attempted to send 11000000000000 cycles when only YYY were available in its balance"

The question is: where those 11T come from?

As I see in the source code - canister creation fee is 1T

Couldn’t send message

It doesn’t “cost” 11T, I was using dfx 0.7.1 which deposits 10T cycles in addition to paying the 1T fee. This behavior is changed in 0.7.2, where depending on if you’re deploying to a verified app versus a regular app subnet, dfx will deposit either 3T or 4T cycles after accounting for the create fee. Of course, you can always use --with-cycles in either dfx canister create or dfx deploy to specify the initial cycle balance your canister should have instead of using the default values.
