Question:
In a normal account (no AWS Free Tier), when attempting to create more than two Lightsail instances in the same region I get
CreateInstances [eu-west-2]
Sorry, you’ve reached your maximum limit of Lightsail Instances : 2.
If you’re new to Lightsail, please try again later. If the issue
persists, please contact Customer Support.
Thing is, in the Service Quotas page can read that the Number of instances per Region is 20.
Can see that I can request an increase in this limit and could create the instance in a different location – I’ve tested and that’s allowed – but want all services/products in the same region so that’s not an option for me).
Shouldn’t I be allowed 20 per region? What am I missing here?
As stated in the error message, considering I’m new to Lightsail (less than one month of usage), will “try again later” and see if that solves.

Hi AWS support team In a normal account (no AWS Free Tier), when attempting to create more than two Lightsail instances in the same region I get > "CreateInstances [eu-west-2] > Sorry, you've reached your maximum limit of Lightsail Instances : 2. If you're new to Lightsail, please try again later. If the issue persists, please contact Customer Support." Thing is, in the Service Quotas page can read that the Number of instances per Region is 20. Shouldn't I be allowed 20 per region? What am I missing here? As stated in the error message, considering I'm new to Lightsail (less than one month of usage), I "tried again" after 8 hours and then after 21 hours but the problem remained and hence the question.
