How do I troubleshoot the error "You have exceeded the allowed number of AWS accounts" for AWS Organizations?
I want to troubleshoot the "You have exceeded the allowed number of AWS accounts" error message that I receive when I invite or create accounts in AWS Organizations.
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.
When you receive the "You have exceeded the allowed number of AWS accounts" error message, you exceeded the default maximum number of 10 accounts for your organization.
Use the Service Quota console or the AWS CLI to request an increase to the maximum number of accounts in your organization.
Important: Organizations is a global service that's hosted in the US East (N. Virginia) (us-east-1) AWS Region. You must use the us-east-1 Region to access Organizations quotas from the Service Quotas console or AWS CLI.
