Using the AWS Management Console to request an increase Using the AWS CLI to request a quota increase

Requesting a quota increase

For adjustable quotas, you can request a quota increase at the account-level or the resource-level. Smaller increases are usually automatically approved while larger requests are submitted to AWS Support. Larger increase requests take time to review, process, approve, and deploy. You can track your request case in the AWS Support console.

Note

Quota increase requests don't receive priority support. AWS Support can approve, deny, or partially approve your requests. If you have an urgent quota request, or if your quota increase request is denied, contact AWS Support for assistance.

Using the AWS Management Console to request an increase

Increase your quotas at the account or resource level in the Getting Started with the AWS Management Console.

To request a service quota increase

Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Service Quotas console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/home.
In the navigation pane, choose AWS services.
Choose an AWS service from the list, or enter the name of the service in the search box.
If the quota is adjustable, you can request a quota increase at either the account-level or resource-level based on the value listed in the Adjustability column.
- Account-level – Request a quota increase at the account-level for an account-level quota such as Domains per Region for Amazon OpenSearch Service. To do so, select the quota from the list and choose Request increase at account-level.
- Resource-level – Request a quota increase for a specific resource for a resource-level quota such as Instances per domain for Amazon OpenSearch Service. To do so, choose the quota name to view additional information about the quota. Under the Resource-level quotas section, select the resource for which you want to increase the quota value, and choose the Request increase at resource-level button.
For Increase quota value, enter the new value. The new value must be greater than the current value.
Choose Request.
To view any pending or recently resolved requests in the console, navigate to the Request history tab from the service's details page, or choose Dashboard from the navigation pane. For pending requests, choose the status of the request to open the request receipt. The initial status of a request is Pending. After the status changes to Quota requested, you'll see the case number with AWS Support. Choose the case number to open the ticket for your request.

Using the AWS CLI to request a quota increase

Requesting a quota increase using the AWS CLI requires you to provide Service Quotas with the necessary permission to create a support case on your behalf. You can provide this permission by attaching the AWS managed policy ServiceQuotasFullAccess to your IAM principal or adding iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole to your existing IAM policy.

Account-level increase request AWS CLI

To request a quota increase at the account-level

The RequestServiceQuotaIncrease operation, which submits the request, requires the quota code for the quota. So begin by getting the quota code.

The following example commands show how to request a quota increase at the account-level for the Amazon OpenSearch Service.

Get the list of services supported by Service Quotas with the ListServices operation. The response includes the ServiceCode and ServiceName for each service. The ServiceCode for Amazon OpenSearch Service is es.

Get the list of Amazon OpenSearch Service quotas and their corresponding applied quota values at the account-level by calling the ListServiceQuotas operation with request parameters ServiceCode as es, and QuotaAppliedAtLevel as ACCOUNT. The response includes the QuotaName, QuotaCode, Value, and QuotaAppliedAtLevel for each quota of the Amazon OpenSearch Service that is applied at the account-level. If the value in the QuotaAppliedAtLevel field is ACCOUNT, then the Value represents the Applied quota value at the account-level. The following CLI example retrieves the quota code for a OpenSearch Service quota.


$ aws service-quotas list-service-quotas \
        --service-code es \  
        --quota-applied-at-level ACCOUNT

            "Adjustable": true,
            "QuotaArn": "arn:aws:servicequotas:us-east-1::123456789012:es/L-6408ABDE",

            "Unit": "None",
            "QuotaContext": {
                             "ContextScope": "RESOURCE",
                             "ContextScopeType": "AWS::OpenSearchService::Domain",
                             "ContextId": "*"
        }
    ]
}

Next, call the RequestServiceQuotaIncrease operation and specify the QuotaCode in the request parameter.

The following example requests an increase at the account-level in the Instances per domain quota to 100. It uses the required quota code, L-6408ABDE, to identify the quota. If the command completes successfully, the Status field in the response displays the current status of the request. The QuotaRequestedAtLevel field in the response specifies that this request applies to the account-level.

Note
You can't request a quota increase at the account-level for a resource-level quota through the AWS CLI. This operation results in the creation of a support case where you can provide the ARN to specify the resource on which the new quota value should apply. However, the Instances per domain quota for Amazon OpenSearch Service is an exception.
```
$ aws service-quotas request-service-quota-increase \
        --service-code es \
        --quota-code L-6408ABDE \
        --desired-value 100
{
    "RequestedQuota": {
        "QuotaName": "Instances per domain",
        "Status": "PENDING",
        "DesiredValue": 100,
        "Created": 1580446904.067,
        "QuotaArn": "arn:aws:servicequotas:us-east-1::123456789012:es/L-6408ABDE",
        "ServiceName": "Amazon OpenSearch Service",
        "GlobalQuota": false,
        "ServiceCode": "es",
        "QuotaCode": "L-6408ABDE",
        "Requester": "{\"accountId\":\"123456789012\",\"callerArn\":\"arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root\"}",
        "QuotaRequestedAtLevel": "ACCOUNT"
        "Id": "a12345",
        "Unit": "None"
        "QuotaContext": {
                         "ContextId": "*"
                         "ContextScopeType": "AWS::OpenSearchService::Domain",
                         "ContextScope": "RESOURCE",
        }
    }
}
```
To get the updated status of the request, use the GetRequestedServiceQuotaChange, ListRequestedServiceQuotaChangeHistory or ListRequestedServiceQuotaChangeHistoryByQuota operations.

Resource-level quota increase request AWS CLI

To request a quota increase at the resource-level

The RequestServiceQuotaIncrease operation, which submits the request, requires the quota code for the quota. So begin by getting the quota code. To request a quota increase for a specific resource, use the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) ResourceARN as the value for the ContextId parameter when you make your request.

The following example commands show how to request a resource-level quota increase for the OpenSearch Service.

Get the list of services supported by Service Quotas with the ListServices operation. The response includes the ServiceCode and ServiceName for each service. The ServiceCode for Amazon OpenSearch Service is es.

Get the list of Amazon OpenSearch Service quotas and their corresponding applied quota values at the resource-level by calling the ListServiceQuotas operation with request parameters ServiceCode as es, and QuotaAppliedAtLevel as RESOURCE. The response includes the QuotaName, QuotaCode, Value, and QuotaAppliedAtLevel for each quota of the Amazon OpenSearch Service that is applied at the resource-level. If the value in the QuotaAppliedAtLevel field is RESOURCE, then the Value represents the Applied quota value at the resource-level. In this case, the response for this quota will also contain the QuotaContext structure which further specifies the ContextId or the ARN to which the quota value is applied. The following CLI example retrieves the quota code for a OpenSearch Service quota.


$ aws service-quotas list-service-quotas \
        --service-code es \
        --quota-applied-at-level RESOURCE
{
    "Quotas": [
         {
            "QuotaName": "Instances per domain",
            "Adjustable": true,
            "QuotaArn": "arn:aws:servicequotas:us-east-1::123456789012:es/L-6408ABDE",
            "Value": 100.0,
            "QuotaAppliedAtLevel": "RESOURCE",
            "ServiceName": "Amazon OpenSearch Service",
            "GlobalQuota": false,
            "ServiceCode": "es",
            "QuotaCode": "L-6408ABDE",
            "Unit": "None",
            "QuotaContext": {
                             "ContextScope": "RESOURCE",
                             "ContextScopeType": "AWS::OpenSearchService::Domain",
                             "ContextId": "arn:aws:esus-east-1:123456789012:domain/opensearch-domain-1",
                    }
       },
       {
       "QuotaName": "Instances per domain",
            "Adjustable": true,
            "QuotaArn": "arn:aws:servicequotas:us-east-1::123456789012:es/L-6408ABDE",
            "Value": 100.0,
            "QuotaAppliedAtLevel": "RESOURCE",
            "ServiceName": "Amazon OpenSearch Service",
            "GlobalQuota": false,
            "ServiceCode": "es",
            "QuotaCode": "L-6408ABDE",
            "Unit": "None",
            "QuotaContext": {
                             "ContextScope": "RESOURCE",
                             "ContextScopeType": "AWS::OpenSearchService::Domain",
                             "ContextId": "arn:aws:esus-east-1:123456789012:domain/opensearch-domain-2",
                    }
         }           
    ]
}

Next, call the RequestServiceQuotaIncrease operation and specify the ServiceCode, QuotaCode, ContextId, and DesiredValue request parameters.

The following example requests an increase in the Instances per domain quota to 100 for a specific Amazon OpenSearch Service domain with the ARN as arn:aws:es:us-east-1:123456789012:domain/opensearch-domain-1. If the command completes successfully, the Status field in the response displays the current status of the request. QuotaRequestedAtLevel field in the response contains the value RESOURCE which specifies that this request is for a specific resource.


$ aws service-quotas request-service-quota-increase \
        --service-code es \
        --quota-code L-6408ABDE \
        --desired-value 200 \
        --context-id arn:aws:es:us-east-1:123456789012:domain/opensearch-domain-1

        "ServiceName": "Amazon OpenSearch Service",
        "GlobalQuota": false,
        "ServiceCode": "es",
        "QuotaCode": "L-6408ABDE",
        "Requester": "{\"accountId\":\"123456789012\",\"callerArn\":\"arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root\"}",
        "QuotaRequestedAtLevel": "RESOURCE",

        "Unit": "None"
        "QuotaContext": {
                         "ContextId": "arn:aws:es:us-east-1:123456789012:domain/opensearch-domain-1"
                         "ContextScopeType": "AWS::OpenSearchService::Domain",
                         "ContextScope": "RESOURCE",
             }            
    }
}

To get the updated status of the request, use the GetRequestedServiceQuotaChange, ListRequestedServiceQuotaChangeHistory or ListRequestedServiceQuotaChangeHistoryByQuota operations.

After the request is resolved, the Applied quota value for the quota is set to the new value.
