Monitoring your Amazon SES sending quotas - Amazon Simple Email Service

Monitoring your Amazon SES sending quotas

You can monitor your sending quotas by using the Amazon SES console or through the Amazon SES API, whether by calling the Query (HTTPS) interface directly or indirectly through an AWS SDK, the AWS Command Line Interface, or the AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell.

Important

We recommend that you frequently check your sending statistics to ensure that you are not close to your sending quotas. If you are close to your sending quotas, see Increasing your Amazon SES sending quotas for information about how to increase them. Don't wait until you reach your sending quotas to consider increasing them.

Monitoring your sending quotas using the Amazon SES console

The following procedure shows you how to view your sending quotas using the Amazon SES console.

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon SES console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ses/.

  3. To update the display, select the refresh icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Daily email usage box.

Monitoring your sending quotas using the Amazon SES API

The Amazon SES API provides the GetSendQuota action, which returns your sending quotas. When you call GetSendQuota action, you receive the following information:

  • Number of emails you have sent during the past 24 hours

  • Sending quota for the current 24-hour period

  • Maximum send rate

Note

For a description of GetSendQuota, see Amazon Simple Email Service API Reference.
