Problem

By default, when using the dstack run command, it tries to reuse an instance from a pool. If no idle instance meets the requirements, dstack automatically provisions a new cloud instance and adds it to the pool.

To avoid provisioning new cloud instances with dstack run, use --reuse. Your run will be assigned to an idle instance in the pool.

It is not clear that the flag prevent provisioning and forces the use of existing instances.

Solution

Add a description that the flag forces the reuse of existing instances or fail.
