# Turn off Amazon Keyspaces auto scaling for a table
<a name="autoscaling.turnoff"></a>

You can turn off Amazon Keyspaces auto scaling for your table at any time. If you no longer need to scale your table's read or write capacity, you should consider turning off auto scaling so that Amazon Keyspaces doesn't continue modifying your table’s read or write capacity settings. You can update the table using the console, CQL, or the AWS CLI.

Turning off auto scaling also deletes the CloudWatch alarms that were created on your behalf.

To delete the service-linked role used by Application Auto Scaling to access your Amazon Keyspaces table, follow the steps in [Deleting a service-linked role for Amazon Keyspaces](using-service-linked-roles-app-auto-scaling.md#delete-service-linked-role-app-auto-scaling). 

**Note**  
To delete the service-linked role that Application Auto Scaling uses, you must disable automatic scaling on all tables in the account across all AWS Regions.

**Using the Amazon Keyspaces console**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console, and open the Amazon Keyspaces console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/keyspaces/home](https://console.aws.amazon.com/keyspaces/home).

1. Choose the table you want to update and go to the **Capacity** tab.
