Hello.
which means if I create 20 instances run for some certain period and delete them, afterward I cannot create another single instance anymore, because I already created 20 instances! Is that normal and is it designed on purpose? If it's true. That is a very strict restraint.
If you wait a while after deleting an instance, you will be able to start up instances up to your quota.
So, after deleting the instance, wait about 10 minutes before starting it again.
I tried it with my AWS account, and I was able to confirm that I could delete the instance, wait about 10 minutes, and then start it.
In my case, the value is 32. Does the same restraint mechanics like Lightsail instance quota still apply here? If true, this means if I create 32 vCPUs spot instances and terminate them, then I cannot create another single EC2 spot instance anymore. Or is this quota really for the number of running Spot Instances and pending Spot Instance requests per AWS account per Region?
The same goes for EC2, wait about 10 minutes after deleting the instance, then try starting it.

Thanks a lot. Your answer is very informative. Just curious, is this '10 minutes‘ limiting strategy stated in AWS Docs? I didn't manage to find it on Google.
I tried looking for it, but I don't think it's mentioned in the AWS documentation.
Get it. Thank you very much :-)
