Are the existing RIs for t4g.small Standard or Convertible? I am wondering if this is what is stopping you from proceeding:
The original Reserved Instances are all Standard Reserved Instances or all Convertible Reserved Instances, not some of each type
- If they are different type each, then you can't modify.
The original Reserved Instances must expire within the same hour, if they are Standard Reserved Instances
- If they are both Standard but expires on different days, then you can't modify.
Here is the documentation. I see that Representative #2 has also provided the steps for you to follow. Are you not able to complete?
"from the "Reserved Instances" section under "EC2" service. Once you have two t4g.small Reserved Instances, go to the "Reserved Instances" section in the AWS console. Select the two t4g.small Reserved Instances you want to merge. Click on the "Actions" button at the top and select "Modify Reserved Instances". In the "Modify Reserved Instances" screen, select the option "Merge Reserved Instances". Follow the prompts to select the new Reserved Instance type (t4g.medium) and configuration you want.""
Thank you for your reply! I am not seeing the "Merge Reserved Instances" option. Here is what I am able to see: https://ibb.co/wRSZNc9
You are the third person to tell me this, so it must be doable! I'm just not sure why I am not seeing the option. Thanks again for any thoughts!
I did some more research. Does this apply in my situation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/apply_ri.html#ri-instance-size-flexibility
If you have one RI for t4g.medium, it will cover 2 t4g.small. But what you have is the exact opposite where you want to combine 2 t4g.small into one single t4g.medium so that you can size up. I am trying to duplicate what you have in my test account. It may take some time before I get back to you. Meanwhile, I suggest you provide the screenshot to the support case you already had open and ask for more clarity as the UI may have changed.
I was able to combine two t4g.small into 1 single t4g.medium using my test account. Please see screenshots below:
what you need to do is to
- Change Instance type to t4g.medium
- Change Count to 1
Hmm....I seem to be getting an error. My screen also looks slightly different.
Change the Instance Type to t4g.medium and Count to 1 (use the Up\Down Arrow). Units should get automatically updated.
I tried changing to medium, but still getting the same error. As I mentioned earlier, I have different expiration dates for each RI. Could that have something to do with it?

That must be it! They are both standard reserved instances, but expire at different times. Thanks!
