Purchase capacity in a different Availability Zone in the same Region instead. Also, be sure that the RI that you're trying to purchase is for an instance configuration that AWS offers.You've reached your limit for RIs in a Region. For information about viewing and increasing your RI limit, see Amazon EC2 service quotas.You're purchasing a No Upfront RI with a new AWS account. AWS restricts the ability for new accounts to purchase No Upfront RIs. The restriction on purchasing No Upfront RIs is lifted automatically, usually after about a month. For more information, see Reserved Instances payment options.AWS Support can't manually update these limits or add No Upfront RIs to your account on your behalf.Note: AWS Support can't purchase RIs on your behalf.Related informationAmazon EC2 Reserved InstancesHow to purchase Reserved InstancesBuy Reserved InstancesFollow"
