I created a new AWS account in my AWS Organization. When I try to create a reserved instance in the account I get the following error:
"Error: Your current quota does not allow you to purchase the required number of reserved instances (Status Code: 400; Error Code: ReservedInstancesLimitExceeded; Request ID: 52e35efd-89aa-44ef-9794-026b1176d21b)"
Reserved instance details:
- Region = us-east-2
- Instance type = g4dn.2xlarge
- Offering = standard
- Quantity = 1
- Payment terms = All Upfront
It's a new account so I do not have any existing instances in the account in any region.
When I go to limits, it shows that my "Reserved Instances" limit is 20.
I clearly have the limit available for reserved instances, so why am I getting this error?
Hi Mark,
I created the new account few day back. I already have one on-demand g4dn.2xlarge instance running for the last 5-6 days on the account.
Do I still need to run two t2.small instances for 20 minutes?
Hi Mark,
I launched two t2.small instances and waited for a couple of hours.
I am still getting the same error when I try to purchase the reserved instance
Hi Mark
I've also run into this issue -
And we're still unable to purchase reserved instances. We have a support ticket open to resolve the issue however I think two things are required by AWS
In our case the cost calculator was used to provide a cost estimate to a client and if we're unable to apply reserved instances then we are over budget due to what appears to be an arbitrary limit imposed. We maintain a range of AWS accounts for other clients and have not encountered this issue.
