Error codes for the Amazon EC2 API
Amazon EC2 has two types of error codes:
-
Client errors. These errors are usually caused by something the client did, such as specifying an incorrect or invalid parameter in the request, or using an action or resource on behalf of a user that doesn't have permission to use the action or resource. These errors are accompanied by a 400-series HTTP response code.
-
Server errors. These errors are usually caused by an AWS server-side issue. These errors are accompanied by a 500-series HTTP response code.

Common client error codes
This section lists the client error codes that all Amazon EC2 API actions can return.
| Error code | Description |
|---|---|
AuthFailure |
The provided credentials could not be validated. You might not be authorized to carry out the request; for example, trying to associate an Elastic IP address that is not yours, or trying to use an AMI for which you do not have permissions. Ensure that your account is authorized to use Amazon EC2, that your credit card details are correct, and that you are using the correct credentials. |
Blocked |
Your account is currently blocked. Contact
AWS Support |
DryRunOperation |
The user has the required permissions, so the request would have
succeeded, but the DryRun parameter was used. |
IdempotentParameterMismatch |
The request uses the same client token as a previous, but non-identical request. Do not reuse a client token with different requests, unless the requests are identical. |
IncompleteSignature |
The request signature does not conform to AWS standards. |
InvalidAction |
The action or operation requested is not valid. Verify that the action is typed correctly. |
InvalidCharacter |
A specified character is invalid. |
InvalidClientTokenId |
The X.509 certificate or credentials provided do not exist in our records. |
InvalidPaginationToken |
The specified pagination token is not valid or is expired. |
InvalidParameter |
A parameter specified in a request is not valid, is unsupported, or cannot be used. The returned message provides an explanation of the error value. For example, if you are launching an instance, you can't specify a security group and subnet that are in different VPCs. |
InvalidParameterCombination |
Indicates an incorrect combination of parameters, or a missing parameter. For example, trying to terminate an instance without specifying the instance ID. |
InvalidParameterDependency |
Indicates an incorrect combination of parameters, or a missing parameter. For example, trying to terminate an instance without specifying the instance ID. |
InvalidParameterValue |
A value specified in a parameter is not valid, is unsupported, or cannot be used. Ensure that you specify a resource by using its full ID. The returned message provides an explanation of the error value. |

MalformedQueryString |
The query string contains a syntax error. |
MissingAction |
The request is missing an action or a required parameter. |
MissingAuthenticationToken |
The request must contain valid credentials. |
MissingParameter |
The request is missing a required parameter. Ensure that you have supplied all the required parameters for the request; for example, the resource ID. |
OptInRequired |
You are not authorized to use the requested service. Ensure that you have subscribed to the service you are trying to use. If you are new to AWS, your account might take some time to be activated while your credit card details are being verified. |
PendingVerification |
Your account is pending verification. Until the verification process
is complete, you may not be able to carry out requests with this
account. If you have questions, contact AWS Support |
RequestExpired |
The request reached the service more than 15 minutes after the date stamp on the request or more than 15 minutes after the request expiration date (such as for presigned URLs), or the date stamp on the request is more than 15 minutes in the future. If you're using temporary security credentials, this error can also occur if the credentials have expired. For more information, see Temporary security credentials in the IAM User Guide. |
TagPolicyViolation |
You attempted to create or update a resource with tags that are not compliant with the tag policy requirements for this account. For more information, see Grant permission to tag resources during creation. |
UnauthorizedOperation |
You are not authorized to perform this operation. Check your IAM
policies, and ensure that you are using the correct credentials. For
more information, see Identity and access management for Amazon EC2. If the returned message is encoded, you
can decode it using the DecodeAuthorizationMessage action.
For more information, see DecodeAuthorizationMessage in the
AWS Security Token Service API Reference. |

Common causes of client errors
There are a number of reasons that you might encounter an error while performing a request. Some errors can be prevented or easily solved by following these guidelines:
-
Specify the Region: Some resources can't be shared between AWS Regions. If you are specifying a resource that's located in a Region other than the current Region, specify its Region in the request. If the resource cannot be found, you get the following error:
Client.InvalidResource.NotFound; for example,Client.InvalidInstanceID.NotFound. -
Allow for eventual consistency: Some errors are caused because a previous request has not yet propagated thorough the system. For more information, see Ensuring idempotency.
-
Use a sleep interval between request rates: Amazon EC2 API requests are throttled to help maintain the performance of the service. If your requests have been throttled, you get the following error:
Client.RequestLimitExceeded. For more information, see Ensuring idempotency. -
Use the full ID of the resource: When specifying a resource, ensure that you use its full ID, and not its user-supplied name or description. For example, when specifying a security group in a request, use its ID in the form sg-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
-
Check your services: Ensure that you have signed up for all the services you are attempting to use. You can check which services you're signed up for by going to the My Account section of the AWS home page
. -
Check your permissions: Ensure that you have the required permissions to carry out the request. If you are not authorized, you get the following error:
Client.UnauthorizedOperation. For more information, see Identity and access management for Amazon EC2. -
Check your VPC: Some resources cannot be shared between VPCs; for example, security groups.
-
Check your credentials: Ensure that you entered the credentials correctly; and, if you have more than one account, that you are using the correct credentials for the specific account. If the provided credentials are incorrect, you might get the following error:
Client.AuthFailure.

Eventual consistency
The Amazon EC2 API follows an eventual consistency model, due to the distributed nature of the system supporting the API. This means that when you run an API command, the result may not be immediately visible to subsequent API commands, which can result in an error.
For more information about eventual consistency and how to manage it, see Eventual consistency.
