Failure to launch Amazon EC2 non free instances

Every amazon account has limits - even big corporate accounts. These limitations are set by Amazon, but you can request a limit increase. You can find your limits by clicking the Limits link in the top left hand side inside the EC2 Dashboard.

For example, if you have a t2.micro already running and you try to launch a g2.xlarge that had a limit of 1, you would not be able to since your limit of 1 has already been hit with your t2.micro that is running.
