Issues in AWS us-east-1 launching instances

From a chat with a support agent:

"it seems at the moment there is an internal issue affecting instance launches in the us-east-1 region. I'm trying to get updates right now"

It never showed up in my PHD (personal health dashboard) so it may have been a brief anomaly. Shared here in case others were seeing issues.

we are still seeing issues here

It did finally show up in our PHD, but it showed up as having been resolved:

"[08:52 AM PDT] Between 7:49AM PDT and 8:27AM PDT EC2 experienced elevated API errors for instance related APIs in a single Availability Zone in the US-EAST-1 region. Existing instances were not affected. The issue has been resolved and the service is operating normally."

It was in US-EAST-1C.

we got 503s in multiple AZs in us-east-1 and are still unable to start a specific instance in us-east-1b :(
