Resize a Linode to a different plan (type). Consider these points before resizing:

• You can't have an outstanding balance on your account.

• If any actions are currently running or queued for the Linode, you need to wait for them to complete before you can resize it.

• The Linode can't be pending migration.

• The Linode can't have more disk allocation than what the new type supports. If this is the case, you need to delete or resize the disk to be smaller.

• You can also resize a Linode when using the Rebuild a Linode operation.

• If you have Block Storage volumes attached to the Linode, you can't resize it to a type that supports fewer volumes. You need to delete volumes from the Linode to meet the limit supported by the smaller type.
