Hey @e0abd42cdc934ec08d5752a7cfd41c,
This usually means your account is on a new / restricted account tier, which limits the largest Droplet sizes you can create.
To access larger machines (like 8 vCPU / 16GB or higher), you need a billing limit increase/account upgrade.
Please reach out to our amazing support team, who will be more than happy to assist you with your account query!
Hope that helps!
