How do I increase my Amazon CloudWatch API quotas through the AWS Management Console?

Short description

Amazon CloudWatch APIs have default service quotas for the TPS (transaction per second) value. When you work with AWS resources, you might receive rate exceeded or throttling errors because you reached the TPS quota for specific APIs. To increase your TPS quotas, use Service Quotas.

Resolution

Use the AWS Management Console

Complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console, and then open the Service Quotas console.
2. In the navigation pane, choose AWS services.
3. From the list, choose a CloudWatch related service such as Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon CloudWatch Logs, or Amazon CloudWatch RUM.
4. If the quota is adjustable, then request a quota increase at either the account or resource level. Refer to the value in the Adjustability column to determine if and how much you can increase the quota.
   Note: You can't request a quota increase at the account level for a resource-level quota in the AWS Management Console.
5. For Increase quota value, enter the new value.
6. Choose Request.
   Note: AWS Support either approves, denies, or partially approves your quota increase request. If AWS Support denies your quota increase request, then contact AWS Support.
7. In the navigation pane, choose the request history tab to view pending or recently resolved requests in the Service Quotas console.
   Note: For pending requests, choose the request status. After the status changes to Quota requested, the system shows a case number. Select the case number to open your request ticket.
