Too many requests on starting Security Hub: Central Configuration

Question

I'd like to start the new feature Central Configuration of Security Hub. In Security Hub->Settings ->Configuration there is a button: Start central configuration. When I click it and then "Confirm and continue" I get a red banner saying "Too many requests". I've tried this a few times to no avail.

I have an organization with 20 accounts set up through Control Tower. Security Hub is delegated to an Audit account.

Accepted Answer

It seems like you are encountering a rate limiting error when trying to start central configuration in Security Hub. A few things to check:
* Make sure AWS Config is enabled in all accounts and regions where you want to centrally manage Security Hub. Central configuration relies on AWS Config for cross-account integration.
* Double check that the account you are using to start central configuration has the necessary IAM permissions. It needs permissions to call Security Hub APIs on your behalf.
* Rate limiting errors generally occur when making too many API requests too quickly. Try waiting a few minutes between attempts to start central configuration.
* As your organization grows, you may eventually hit inherent limits on the number of configuration changes allowed per region. For exact limits, check the AWS documentation or contact support.

For long-term management, consider using configuration policies and the Security Hub SDK/CLI instead of the console. For example:

```

aws securityhub update-organization-configuration \
  --configuration-type CENTRAL \
  --no-auto-enable
```
