Business Restriction Resource Specification limit description

In ECS, there are limits to the number of resources that each user can have, such as instances, security groups, and so on.

There are also limitations on specifications, the number of disks mounted on the instance, the size of the disk, the number of snapshots on the disk, and the public bandwidth flow of the instance. When using the ECS Open API, refer to the latest business restriction rules and resource specification restrictions on the official web. Query links
