Quotas for Amazon Verified Permissions

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.

To view the quotas for Verified Permissions, open the Service Quotas console. In the navigation pane, choose AWS services and select Verified Permissions.

To request a quota increase, see Requesting a Quota Increase in the Service Quotas User Guide. If the quota is not yet available in Service Quotas, use the limit increase form.

Your AWS account has the following quotas related to Verified Permissions.

Quotas for resources

Name	Default	Adjustable	Description
Policy stores per Region per account	Each supported Region: 1,000	Yes	The maximum number of policy stores.
Policy templates per policy store	Each supported Region: 40	Yes	The maximum number of policy templates in a policy store.
Identity sources per policy store	1	No	The maximum number of identity sources that you can define for a policy store.
Authorization request size¹	1 MB	No	The maximum size of an authorization request.
Policy size	10,000 bytes	No	The maximum size of an individual policy.
Schema size	100,000 bytes	No	The maximum size of the schema of a policy store.

¹ The quota for an authorization request is the same for both IsAuthorized and IsAuthorizedWithToken.

² The total size of all the policies pertaining to a single resource can't exceed 200,000 bytes. In addition, the total size of all the policies that specify "All resources" can't exceed 200,000 bytes. For template-linked policies, the size of the policy template is counted only once, plus the size of each set of parameters used to instantiate each template-linked policy.

Quotas for hierarchies

Transitive parents per principal	100	No	The maximum number of transitive parents for each principal.
Transitive parents per action	100	No	The maximum number of transitive parents for each action.
Transitive parents per resource	100	No	The maximum number of transitive parents for each resource.

Quotas for operations per second

Verified Permissions throttles requests to service endpoints in an AWS Region when application requests exceed the quota for an API operation. Verified Permissions might return an exception when you exceed the quota in requests per second, or you attempt simultaneous write operations. You can view your current RPS quotas in Service Quotas. To prevent applications from exceeding the quota for an operation, you must optimize them for retries and exponential backoff. For more information, see Retry with backoff pattern and Managing and monitoring API throttling in your workloads.
