I had the same error this week, and was informed by support that my account had a limit set on it which prevented creating volumes larger than 100GB. They have passed it on to engineering support and assume they will increase my limit… I hadn’t had to use droplets for around 8 months until now, and this limit was not in place back then. Wonder if it’s just an arbitrary resource management setting that’s been put in place, if digitalocean is getting more popular.

    Still getting the same error. Steps taken:

    1. Create -> droplet
    2. Region - New York (tried others but same result), datacenter - NYC1
    3. Image - default ubuntu 22.10 x64
    4. CPU - shared, regular with SSD, 2 GB / 2 CPUs 60 GB SSD Disk 3 TB transfer
    5. 200GB of volumes
    6. Added a SSH key Done

    This gives the above error
