Why Can't I Create an Instance From a Snapshot?

Updated on 15 September, 2025

Explains common reasons why users might encounter difficulties when attempting to deploy new instances from snapshots


You may be unable to deploy a new instance from a snapshot for several reasons:

  • Regional Availability: The selected region may be undergoing temporary maintenance or capacity constraints. Check the Vultr Status Page for updates.

  • Account Resource Limits: Your account may have reached its snapshot or instance deployment limit.

If the issue persists or you're unsure of the cause, open a support ticket for prompt assistance.
