Amazon Bedrock model quota defaulted to zero

Hello.

I've seen multiple users with similar issues over the past few days.
As shown in the answer at the URL below, I don't think it can be resolved other than by contacting AWS Support.
In fact, when I had a similar issue with my AWS account, I contacted AWS Support and had them increase my quota.

It's not uncommon to experience quota limitations when using Amazon Bedrock, especially if you're a new user or working with newly approved models. The default quota being set to zero for certain models is a standard practice for AWS to ensure controlled access and usage.

Regarding the delay in approval for your quota increase request, this is not unusual, but the timeframe can vary. AWS typically reviews these requests carefully to ensure proper resource allocation and prevent misuse. The approval process may take longer depending on various factors, including the current demand for the service, the size of the requested increase, and the justification provided.

To potentially expedite the approval process, you could try the following steps:

1. Ensure that your quota increase request includes a detailed explanation of your use case and why you need the increased quota.
2. If you haven't already, consider reaching out to your AWS account manager or AWS Support for assistance. They may be able to provide more information or help escalate your request.
3. Double-check that you've submitted the request through the correct channels, such as the AWS Service Quotas console or the limit increase form.

As for why the quota defaulted to zero, this is likely a deliberate choice by AWS for resource management and security reasons. It allows AWS to control access to these powerful AI models and ensure that users have a legitimate need before granting higher quotas. This approach helps prevent potential misuse and allows AWS to scale their services effectively as demand grows.

If you continue to experience significant delays that are impacting your work, it may be worth exploring alternative solutions in the meantime, such as using different models that might have higher default quotas or considering other AWS services that could meet your immediate needs while you wait for the quota increase approval.
