Important: The Plan, Region and Image lists are fetched live from Linode using the server’s access token. If they are empty, the product has no reachable Linode server assigned yet, or the token is invalid — a red notice at the top of the dashboard states the exact API error.
Note: Region depends on Plan. Changing the plan re-queries GET /regions/availability and narrows the region list to where that plan can actually be deployed, so an unavailable combination cannot be saved.
