Quotas
The following Amazon Certificate Manager (ACM) service quotas apply to each Amazon region per each Amazon account.
To see what quotas can be adjusted, see the ACM quotas table in the Amazon General Reference
Guide. To request quota increases, create a case at the Amazon Web Services Support Center
General quotas
The following general service quotas apply to your Amazon account when using ACM.
Item | Default quota |
---|---|
Number of ACM certificates Expired and revoked certificates continue to count toward this total. Certificates signed by a CA from Amazon Private CA do not count toward this total. |
2500 |
Number of ACM certificates per year (last 365
days) You can request up to twice your quota of ACM certificates
per year, region, and account. For example, if your quota is 2,500, you can
request up to 5,000 ACM certificates per year in a given region and account. You
can only have 2,500 certificates at any given time. To request 5,000 certificates
in a year, you must delete 2,500 during the year to stay within the quota. If you
need more than 2,500 certificates at any given time, you must contact the
Amazon Web Services Support Center Certificates signed by a CA from Amazon Private CA do not count toward this total. |
Twice your account quota |
Number of imported certificates | 2,500 |
Number of imported certificates per year (last 365 days) | Twice your account quota |
Number of domain names per ACM
certificate The default quota is 10 domain names for each ACM certificate. Your quota may be greater. The first domain name that you submit is included as the subject common name (CN) of the certificate. All names are included in the Subject Alternative Name extension. You can request up to 100 domain names. To request an increase to your quota, create a request in the Service Quotas console for the ACM service. Before creating a case, however, make sure you understand how adding more domain names can create more administrative work for you if you use email validation. For more information, see Domain validation. The quota for the number of domain names per ACM certificate applies only to certificates that are provided by ACM. This quota does not apply to certificates that you import into ACM. The following sections apply only to ACM certificates. |

API rate quotas
The following quotas apply to the ACM API for each region and account. ACM throttles
API requests at different quotas depending on the API operation. Throttling means that ACM
rejects an otherwise valid request because the request exceeds the operation's quota for the
number of requests per second. When a request is throttled, ACM returns a
ThrottlingException
error. The following table lists each API operation and
the quota at which ACM throttles requests for that operation.
Note
In addition to the API actions listed in the table below, ACM can also call the
external IssueCertificate
action from Amazon Private CA. For up-to-date rate quota
information on IssueCertificate
, see the endpoints and quotas for
Amazon Private CA.
