AWS Control Tower cannot create an account because you have reached the limit on the number of accounts in your organization

Question

Hello, I'm trying to create accounts with AWS Control Tower. However, when creating the 6th account the message is displayed "AWS Control Tower cannot create an account because you have reached the limit on the number of accounts in your organization".

I'm not logged in with the root user.

I checked the guidelines in the document https://docs.aws.amazon.com/controltower/latest/userguide/troubleshooting.html

Can anyone help me. The people at AWS have already configured the possibility of configuring up to 10 accounts, but I still can't.

Answer

I recommend [opening a support case](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awssupport/latest/user/case-management.html) to check the current limit for max linked accounts. When opening a case, make sure to open it from the organizations root account.
