Set AWS End User Messaging SMS's SMS, MMS or voice spending limit
In AWS End User Messaging SMS there are spending limits for each messaging channel.
The account limit is the maximum amount, in US dollars,
that you can spend each month sending messages through a channel. When you reach your
account limit, AWS End User Messaging SMS stops sending your messages and, to send more messages that month,
you need to request a spending limit increase. When you request a spending limit change to
either your SMS or MMS account limit both your SMS and
MMS account limit are set to the new requested limit. MMS
and SMS have separate enforced limit. For example you
could set you MMS enforced limit to $10 and SMS enforced limit to $5. To change your account limit, see Requesting a spending quota change.
The enforced limit is an optional spending limit, in US
dollars, between $1 and the account limit. If you don't specify an enforced limit, you can
spend up to your account limit. When you reach your enforced limit, AWS End User Messaging SMS stops sending
your messages. To resume sending messages, you can adjust your enforced limit through the
console or AWS CLI. For example, if you set your SMS account limit to $100 and your enforced
limit to $50, then once you've spent $50, AWS End User Messaging SMS stops sending your messages until you
raise your enforced limit.
The remaining limit is how much you have spent for the
current month sending messages.
You can adjust your enforced limit to increase or decrease your spending without having to
contact AWS Support.
To set up billing alarms for your spending, see Monitoring spending. For more
information about configuring the AWS CLI, see Configure the
AWS CLI in the AWS Command Line Interface User Guide.
