Map quotas and usage

Focus mode
Map quotas and usage - Amazon Location Service

Amazon Location Service imposes specific service quotas and usage limits for both dynamic and static maps. These limits are put in place to ensure fair usage and performance efficiency across all users. Below are the service quotas and adjustable limits for each service.

Service quotas

Amazon Location Service sets default quotas for APIs to help manage service capacity, which can be viewed in the AWS service quotas management console. You can request an increase in quotas through the self-service console, for up to twice the default limit for each API.

For quota limits exceeding twice the default limit, request through the self service console and it will automatically submit a support ticket. Alternately, connect with your premium support team.

There are no direct charges for quota increase requests, but higher usage levels may lead to increased service costs based on the additional resources consumed. For more information, see Manage quotas with Service Quotas.
