EKS Cluster maximum Fleet Requests for this account

Question

I'm testing an application on AWS,Azure,GCP and I've hit this issue and wasted 3 days. Every time I try to create the nodegroup it fails after 10 minutes due to maximum fleet requests reach for this account. I'm just simply following the AWS EKS getting started doc so I can get this app deployed and tested;
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started-console.html

I've checked absolutely everything I can find and also reviewed this post and tried the suggestions;

I can't even find the quota that the error refers to. There's nothing wrong with my payment settings

Regarding the AI response.
Point 1... there are no fleet quotas in EC2 service quotas
Point 2... I can't increase a quota if I can't see what it is.

I understand your frustration with encountering this issue while trying to set up an EKS cluster. The error you're experiencing, "You've reached your quota for maximum Fleet Requests for this account," is related to EC2 Fleet Requests, which are used by EKS to manage node groups.

To resolve this issue, you'll need to take the following steps:

1. Check your current quota limits for EC2 Fleet Requests:
   - Go to the AWS Management Console
   - Navigate to Service Quotas
   - Select Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
   - Look for the quota related to Fleet Requests, such as "EC2 Fleet Requests per Region"

2. Request a quota increase:
   - In the Service Quotas console, find the "EC2 Fleet Requests per Region" quota
   - Click on "Request quota increase"
   - Fill in the required information and submit your request

While waiting for the quota increase, you can review your existing Fleet Requests to see if you can optimize or delete any unused or unnecessary fleets. This might free up some of the quota and allow you to proceed with your current request.

If you need urgent assistance or if these steps do not resolve your issue, you can contact AWS Support:
   - Go to the AWS Support Center
   - Open a new support case
   - Select Service Limit Increase and choose the relevant service and quota
   - Provide detailed information about your needs and submit the request

It's important to note that this issue is not unique to EKS and can affect other AWS services that use EC2 Fleet Requests. The quota is in place to prevent accidental over-provisioning of resources, but it can be increased upon request.

I apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced. Once you've requested and received the quota increase, you should be able to proceed with creating your EKS cluster and node groups without encountering this error.
