Apply quota increase

Question

I need a ec2 quota increase.  I applied and was given a partial increase.  When I went to use it, I was told I couldn’t create the instance because I exceeded my limit.  The old limit.  After trying a few times, I went back and saw my request required customer action, I didn’t see anything I could do but make it resolved.  I did, and I have my old limit.  What was I supposed to do?

Answer

Hello.

Please try applying again from Service Quota.

EC2 quotas are limited by region, so when applying, please select the region you are using.
