Hello, all

There is a droplet limit on each account but this limit can be increased as needed by opening a ticket with support. Usually this limit is increased by doubling it for each request as you scale up. There is no hard limit on the number of droplets you can have and we have users on our platform with limits of 1000 droplets or more.

If you want to increase your droplet limit you’ll need to follow these steps:

You can request a Droplet limit increase via your DigitalOcean Control panel. Then go to ‘Settings’ -> ‘Profile’ -> And hit the 'Increase’ button.

Once there, you’ll want to click the Increase link to open the form to increase your account’s current limit.if you’re having a limit of 25 the option to increase the limit to 50 should work instantly and the limit will be increased to 50 droplets.

If you require a higher limit, then fill out the form and after you’ve submitted the form, it will then be passed on to DigitalOcean’s support team for review.

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
