Note

Some of the reasons in the following list might not be applicable to this specific API or operation.

  Or the number of invitations that you tried to send would cause you to exceed the limit of accounts in your organization. Send fewer invitations or contact AWS Support to request an increase in the number of accounts.

  Note

  Deleted and closed accounts still count toward your limit.
