Unable to set Lambda memory over 3008MB

Question

I have a Lambda with the following configuration:

Region: us-east-1 (N. VIrginia)
Runtime: nodejs16
Inside my accounts service quotas, I can see that my maximum function size is 10240 (10gb).

However, attempting to update to anything beyond 3008MB results in the following error:

'MemorySize' value failed to satisfy constraint: Member must have value less than or equal to 3008

According to [this post](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2020/12/aws-lambda-supports-10gb-memory-6-vcpu-cores-lambda-functions/), N. Virginia is a supported region.

I have seen [numerous other posts about this issue](https://repost.aws/questions/QUKruWYNDYTSmP17jCnIz6IQ/questions/QUKruWYNDYTSmP17jCnIz6IQ/unable-to-set-lambda-memory-over-3008mb?) and I tried contacting AWS technical support but I do not have a support plan and I was told by the account support rep to post so here I am /shrug.

Thanks!

Accepted Answer

That link to a previous post about this covers it pretty thoroughly.  As @Brettski-AWS mentions it's a known account-based issue.

Your Basic (free) support doesn't cover technical support but this is an Account issue so you **can** raise a support case for it.  Please follow the approach another person on that previous post used:
