LimitExceededException when creating a Global Accelerator on brand new account

Question

I just created a new AWS account under our existing organization and am attempting to deploy our infrastructure to it (using Pulumi).  It includes a Global Accelerator which is unable to be provisioned and throws the following exception:

```
LimitExceededException: Limit Exceeded for the number of Accelerators that can be created for account XXXXXXXXX
```

The account is empty and has 0 accelerators associated with it.  I also tried to create one from the AWS web UI and experienced the same result.

Answer

It's worth checking your account's service quotas (https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/home/services/globalaccelerator/quotas) to see if any of those are set to 0, and request an increase if necessary.

Answer

I also got the same problem when creating new GA on brand new member account of Organizations. I could create GA on management account, but not on member account. I checke Service Quotas for both accounts and have no issue with Quota.

Answer

I also encountered the same problem, but I checked the quota and everything was fine.
