AWS Service Quotas

You AWS account has default quotas, formerly referred to as limits, for each AWS service. Unless otherwise noted, each quota is Region-specific. You can request increases for some quotas, and other quotas cannot be increased.

Service Quotas is an AWS service that helps you manage your quotas for over 100 AWS services, from one location. Along with looking up the quota values, you can also request a quota increase from the Service Quotas console.

AWS Trusted Advisor offers a service quotas check (in the Performance category) that displays your usage and quotas for some aspects of some services. For more information, see Service Quotas Check Questions in the Trusted Advisor FAQs.

To request a quota increase

There are two ways to request a quota increase: Service Quotas and AWS Support Center. If a service is not yet available in Service Quotas, use AWS Support Center instead. Increases are not granted immediately. It might take a couple of days for your increase to become effective.

  • (Recommended) Open the Service Quotas console. In the navigation pane, choose AWS services. Select a service, select a quota, and follow the directions to request a quota increase. For more information, see Requesting a Quota Increase in the Service Quotas User Guide.

  • Open the AWS Support Center page, sign in if necessary, and choose Create case. Choose Service limit increase. Complete and submit the form.
