How do I manage customer managed policy and role quotas in IAM?
I want to manage my AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) customer managed policy and role quotas in my AWS account.
Resolution
Note: If you receive errors when you run AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) commands, then see Troubleshooting errors for the AWS CLI. Also, make sure that you're using the most recent AWS CLI version.
You can use the AWS Management Console or the AWS CLI to manage customer managed policy and role quotas in IAM.

Request an IAM quota increase
Important: You must request IAM quota increases through the US East (N. Virginia) AWS Region in the Service Quotas console.
The default quota for customer managed policies is 1,500 per account, with a maximum of 5,000. The default quota for roles is 1,000 per account, with a maximum of 5,000. For more information about IAM quota limits, see IAM quotas.
Use the AWS Management Console or the AWS CLI to request a quota increase for customer managed policies or roles.
Requests up to the maximum quota are automatically approved within minutes. Requests exceeding the maximum quota are submitted to AWS Support for review.
Request an IAM quota decrease
To request a quota decrease, you must contact AWS Support. The Service Quotas console only supports quota increase requests.
