# Quotas for EC2 Fleet and Spot Fleet
<a name="fleet-quotas"></a>

Your AWS account has default quotas, formerly referred to as limits, for each AWS service. Unless otherwise noted, each quota is Region-specific.

The usual Amazon EC2 quotas apply to instances launched by an EC2 Fleet or a Spot Fleet, such as [Spot Instance limits](using-spot-limits.md) and [volume limits](volume_limits.md).

In addition, your AWS account has the following quotas related to EC2 Fleet and Spot Fleet:


****  

| Quota description | Quota | 
| --- | --- | 
| The number of EC2 Fleets and Spot Fleets per Region of type maintain and request in the active, deleted\$1running, and cancelled\$1running states | 1,000 ¹ ² ³ | 
| The number of EC2 Fleets of type instant | Unlimited | 
| The number of Spot capacity pools (unique combination of instance type and subnet) for EC2 Fleets and Spot Fleets of type maintain and request | 300 ¹ | 
| The number of Spot capacity pools (unique combination of instance type and subnet) for EC2 Fleets of type instant | Unlimited | 
| The size of the user data in a launch specification | 16 KB ² | 
| The target capacity per EC2 Fleet or Spot Fleet | 10,000 | 
| The target capacity across all EC2 Fleets and Spot Fleets in a Region | 100,000 ¹ | 
|  An EC2 Fleet request or a Spot Fleet request can't span Regions.  |  | 
| An EC2 Fleet request or a Spot Fleet request can't span different subnets from the same Availability Zone. |  | 

¹ These quotas apply to both your EC2 Fleets and your Spot Fleets.

² These are hard quotas. You can't request an increase for these quotas.

³ After you delete an EC2 Fleet or cancel a Spot Fleet request, and if you specified that the fleet should *not* terminate its Spot Instances when you deleted or canceled the request, the fleet request enters the `deleted_running` (EC2 Fleet) or `cancelled_running` (Spot Fleet) state and the instances continue to run until they are interrupted or you terminate them manually. If you terminate the instances, the fleet request enters the `deleted_terminating` (EC2 Fleet) or `cancelled_terminating` ( Spot Fleet) state and does not count towards this quota. For more information, see [Delete an EC2 Fleet request and the instances in the fleet](delete-fleet.md) and [Cancel (delete) a Spot Fleet request](cancel-spot-fleet.md).
