Instantiating a Cloud Workstation with large amount of RAM

Hi,

I'm trying to get a Cloud Workstation instantiated with at least 128GB of RAM, but preferably 256GB or more for some specialized development and testing. I'd like to use Cloud Workstation because I use IntelliJ and that works well with it.

However, it seems I have a quota of 24 vCPUs in all regions and in order to be able to get a lot of RAM I need to be able to instantiate at least a 32 vCPU-machine. I've tried requesting a quota increase but it got instantly and automatically rejected?

Furthermore, it seems there are not much types of machines to choose from? I don't see any of the highmem-machines in the configuration settings for Cloud Workstation, or are there very specific regions/zones that have those?

(I'm working on an account that has billing and everything enabled and it's even swimming in credits because we're in the startup program, so I can't really imagine that this account is being throttled because of worries we won't pay?)
