Requesting a quota increase
For adjustable quotas, you can request a quota increase at the account-level or the resource-level. Smaller increases are usually automatically approved while larger requests are submitted to AWS Support. Larger increase requests take time to review, process, approve, and deploy. You can track your request case in the AWS Support console.
Note
Quota increase requests don't receive priority support. AWS Support can approve, deny, or partially approve your requests. If you have an urgent quota request, or if your quota increase request is denied, contact AWS Support for assistance.
Using the AWS Management Console to request an increase
Increase your quotas at the account or resource level in the Getting Started with the AWS Management Console.
To request a service quota increase
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Service Quotas console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/home
. -
In the navigation pane, choose AWS services.
-
Choose an AWS service from the list, or enter the name of the service in the search box.
-
If the quota is adjustable, you can request a quota increase at either the account-level or resource-level based on the value listed in the Adjustability column.
-
Account-level – Request a quota increase at the account-level for an account-level quota such as
Domains per Region
for Amazon OpenSearch Service. To do so, select the quota from the list and choose Request increase at account-level. -
Resource-level – Request a quota increase for a specific resource for a resource-level quota such as
Instances per domain
for Amazon OpenSearch Service. To do so, choose the quota name to view additional information about the quota. Under the Resource-level quotas section, select the resource for which you want to increase the quota value, and choose the Request increase at resource-level button.

For Increase quota value, enter the new value. The new value must be greater than the current value.

Choose Request.

To view any pending or recently resolved requests in the console, navigate to the Request history tab from the service's details page, or choose Dashboard from the navigation pane. For pending requests, choose the status of the request to open the request receipt. The initial status of a request is Pending. After the status changes to Quota requested, you'll see the case number with AWS Support. Choose the case number to open the ticket for your request.
Using the AWS CLI to request a quota increase
Requesting a quota increase using the AWS CLI requires you to provide
Service Quotas with the necessary permission to create a support case on your behalf. You can provide this permission by
attaching the AWS managed policy ServiceQuotasFullAccess
to your IAM principal
or adding iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole
to your existing IAM policy.
After the request is resolved, the Applied quota value for the quota is set to the new value.
