VPC limit increase

Question

Hi.
I'm new to terraform and I'm doing tutorials to familiarize myself with it.

At work they are using AWS and I see that my user, already has 5 VPC's attached to it.
Can I get 1 or two more VPC's in addition as I need to be able to be familiar with this tool.

I really hope someone can get back to me quickly as I was planning on using this whole weekend just playing with Terraform and AWS as the work that I'm to present at the end of the sprint uses these tools.

I can't delete the 5 that are already there as they allow me to have access to certain apps in the workplace.

Regards
~T

Hi Didier.
Thanks for your reply, but I can't delete the current VPC's. I need them for work purposes, hence I'm requesting for and increase on the limit. 
The reason I need this increase is also for work as well for our current project using terraform with AWS.

Hi,

If you cannot delete the existing VPCs, you probably face dependency issues with those VPCs: see this guidance to troubleshoot and delete

Best,

Answer

I see.
When I say I can't, I mean I shouldn't delete them because I need them for work as well.
Sorry for the confusion. But this is what I meant to say.
