Manage quotas with Service Quotas

Service Quotas console allow you to request quota increases or decrease quota for adjustable quotas. Service Quotas are the maximum number of API call or resources you can have per AWS account and AWS Region. Amazon Location Service denies additional requests that exceed the service quota.

Rate limits (quotas that start with Rate of...) are the maximum number of requests per second, with a burst rate of 80 percent of the limit within any part of the second, defined for each API operation. Amazon Location Service throttles requests that exceed the operation's rate limit.
