AWS has limits on the amount of resources you can have in a VPC. You can request to increase these via a process out of bounds of the API. This mechanism is there exactly for these kind of things (and malicious API calls should you get hacked). Maybe someone at your company was thinking to big? Normally these are around 10/50 for each EC2 type. |

Limits are malleable based on your use case. Speak with your rep.
You might even not know how limits came to be... I am.

I have had a time when git suffered a flaw, and a junior dev also suffered a flaw in checking in secrets.... thousands of instances across the globe were launched... for bitcoin mining... $700,000 in a few hours...
We all learned a bit that day.
