Thats expected, you have to delete the instance to remove the quota usage.

That is by design, as its very possible for an instance that is in the ERROR state to be running and user hypervisor resources, IPs, volumes, etc.

You must delete to remove the quota usage.

I don't believe thats a recent change. Did you see different behaviour on a previous release?
