Current limit of fleets of 0 have been reached.

Question

When trying to create a new gamelift fleet, the following error occurs:

"An error occurred (LimitExceededException) when calling the CreateFleet operation (reached max retries: 2): Current limit of fleets of 0 have been reached."

This happens independently of instance type. On the service quota dashboard, the limit is 20. Does anyone have any idea on what could be causing this issue? We have been using gamelift for over a year and this is the first time anything like this has occurred.
