I am trying to resize a droplet in SGP region to premium Intel but it says not available due to temporary sizing restriction. When we can expect the option to be available again?

Hi @nspeaks,
If you want to move to a different type of droplet, you can create a snapshot of your current droplet and then spin up a premium droplet using the snapshot.
To migrate a Droplet using snapshots, you should:
Create a snapshot of a Droplet.
Optionally, move the snapshot to a new region if you want to migrate your Droplet to a new region or transfer the snapshot to a new account) if you want to migrate your Droplet to a new account.
Create a new Droplet from the snapshot in the desired region or from the desired account.
You can check the full process listed in our tutorial:
