I’m can't start or launch my Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance. I receive the following error: "InstanceLimitExceeded: Your quota allows for 0 more running instance(s).”

Resolution

The InstanceLimitExceeded error indicates that you reached the limit on the number of running On-Demand Instances that you can launch in an AWS Region.

You can request an instance limit increase on a per-Region basis. For more information, see Amazon EC2 service quotas.
