# Quotas
<a name="Quotas"></a>

Your Amazon Web Services account has default quotas, formerly referred to as limits, for each Amazon service. Amazon S3 quotas include number of general purpose buckets, directory buckets, access points and more. You can request an increase for some quotas, but not all quotas can be increased. These increases are not granted immediately, so it may take a couple of days for your increase to become effective.

For a list of Amazon S3 quotas and their default values see, [Amazon S3 quotas](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/general/latest/gr/s3.html#limits_s3) in the *Amazon Web Services General Reference*.
