Quota
Answer in brief
A quota is the number of machines of a given kind that your account is allowed to run, and for large GPUs a new account often starts at zero.
Quota in practice
A quota is set per account and often per region. Raising it means filing a request and waiting. Approval is not certain, and it can take days.
A quota is not the same as stock. The provider may have machines free and still refuse to start one for you. This site labels such listings Quota, with the date of the check.
