I want to increase my AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) default quota.
Resolution
You can request an increase to default quotas for adjustable IAM quotas. Adjustable quota requests within the maximum quota limit are automatically approved. Adjustable quota requests above the maximum quota limit automatically open an AWS Support case for you.
To view the default and maximum adjustable quota values, see the IAM resource quota table.
Note:
- You can't request an increase to default quotas that aren't adjustable.
- IAM quota increase requests are available only in the US East (N. Virginia) Region.
Follow these steps to request an increase for adjustable IAM quotas within the maximum limit:
- Open the Service Quotas console in the us-east-1 Region.
- In the navigation pane, choose AWS services.
- In the AWS services search bar, enter IAM.
- In Quota name, choose the quota that you want to increase.
Note: Make sure that the Adjustability value equals Account level. If the Adjustability value is marked as Not adjustable, then you can't adjust the quota.
- Choose Request increase at account level.
- In Increase quota value, enter the quota amount, and then choose Request. In Recent quota increase requests, the Status is Pending.
- To check the status of a quota increase request, choose Quota request history in the navigation pane.
If the quota increase request is within the maximum quota value, then the status changes to Approved within a view minutes.
If the quota increase request is above the maximum quota, then the status changes to Case Opened. To view your case, choose the Support Center case number.
