What happens next?
The region change takes effect the next time you start the instance. Restrict scheduling to this region is enabled by default, so the instance runs only in the selected region. If capacity is temporarily unavailable there, the instance may enter the instance queue.
If you disable restricted scheduling, the instance may run in another region when the selected region has insufficient capacity. Read the region scheduling guide before changing this setting, because running farther from your players can increase latency.
