AWS service quotas
Your 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 many 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 Support might approve, deny, or partially approve your requests.
To view service quotas
You can view service quotas using the following options:
-
Open the Service endpoints and quotas page in the documentation, search for the service name, and click the link to go to the page for that service. To view the service quotas for all AWS services in the documentation without switching pages, view the information in the Service Endpoints and Quotas page in the PDF instead.
-
Open the Service Quotas console
. In the navigation pane, choose AWS services and select a service. -
Use the list-service-quotas and list-aws-default-service-quotas AWS CLI commands.
To request a quota increase
You can request a quota increase using Service Quotas, using one of following options. Increases are not granted immediately. It might take a couple of days for your increase to take effect.
-
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. -
Use the request-service-quota-increase AWS CLI command.
If a service is not yet available in Service Quotas, create a service limit increase case
