# Amazon Location Service quotas
<a name="location-quotas"></a>

**Note**  
We released a new version of the Places, Maps, and Routes APIs, see the updated [Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//location/latest/developerguide/what-is.html) for revised information and new topics, such as [Geofences](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//location/latest/developerguide/geofences.html) and [Trackers](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//location/latest/developerguide/trackers.html).

This topic provides a summary of rate limits and quotas for Amazon Location Service.

Service Quotas console allows you to [request quota increases or decrease quota](https://console.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/home#!/services/geo/quotas) for adjustable quotas. Service quotas are the maximum number of API calls or resources you can have per AWS account and AWS Region. When requesting a quota increase, select the Region you require the quota increase in since most quotas are Region-specific. 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. Operations with rate limits increased for an account through Service Quotas may have a burst rate lower than 80 percent of the increased rate limit. Amazon Location Service throttles requests that exceed the operation's rate limit.

[\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/previous/developerguide/location-quotas.html)

**Note**  
You can monitor your usage against your quotas with Cloudwatch. For more information, see [Use CloudWatch to monitor usage against quotas](monitoring-using-cloudwatch.md#alarms-on-quotas).

## Managing your Amazon Location service quotas
<a name="service-quotas-manage"></a>

Amazon Location Service is integrated with Service Quotas, an AWS service that enables you to view and manage your quotas from a central location. For more information, see [What Is Service Quotas?](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/latest/userguide/intro.html) in the *Service Quotas User Guide*.

Service Quotas makes it easy to look up the value of your Amazon Location service quotas.
