Cannot deploy to a Trailhead Playground

[achere]

Summary

I'm trying to use a Trailhead Playground to explore the recipes. It fails to deploy due to platform cache restrictions

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Create a new TH Playground
2. Authorize it from the repo folder
3. Try running sfdx force:source:deploy -p force-app

Expected result

Source successfully deployed

Actual result

Terminal output:
SOURCE PROGRESS | ████████████████████████████████████████ | 145/146 Components
TYPE PROJECT PATH PROBLEM
───── ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The solution I found is to log in to the playground and manually allocate cache from GUI: Setup -> Platform Cache -> Request trial capacity. I allocated 5MB for each session and org partitions. Then when you push the source, it runs successfully.
