How do I resolve a Trusted Advisor alert that shows that my Amazon EBS usage reached its service quota?
AWS Trusted Advisor shows that my Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) usage is more than 80% of an Amazon EBS active volumes service quota. I want to increase the quota.
Resolution
When your Amazon EBS usage reaches 80% of a service quota, there's no effect on the performance and durability of your EBS volumes. If you exceed the quota, then you might not be able to create new volumes in the AWS Regions where you receive alerts.
To manage your usage, take one of the following actions:
- To delete resources, follow the best practices from the alert.
- Use the Service Quotas console in the Region where you receive the Trusted Advisor alert to request a service quota increase.
- Create a support case to request a quota increase.
