When there are no spot instances, it's common that on-demand instances can't be started either.

Unless you paid for a reservation, you're SOL.

Fwiw, Product@SpotInst here. Curious what makes you arrive at this conclusion? At SpotInst we have customers who migrate between Spot <--> RI <--> OD everyday.

that's for you to decide how many percent of reserved instances out of total compute power you need. it's always a trade off. in that case, pct of cost saving is lower but availability is higher.
