# Requesting a quota increase in DynamoDB
Requesting a quota increase

You can request a quota increase for each Region using the Service Quotas console, AWS CLI or a support case. If an adjustable quota isn't available in the Service Quotas console, use the AWS Support Center Console to create a [service quota increase case](https://support.console.aws.amazon.com/support/home#/case/create%3FissueType=service-limit-increase).

Support could approve, deny, or partially approve your quota increase requests. Increases aren't granted immediately, and can take a few days to take effect. 

**To request an increase using the Service Quotas console**

1. Open the Service Quotas console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/home/services/dynamodb/quotas/

1. From the navigation bar, at the top of the screen, select a Region.

1. Filter the list by resource name. For example, enter **On-Demand** to locate the quotas for On-Demand Instances.

1. If the quota is adjustable, choose the quota and then choose **Request quota increase**.

1. For **Change quota value**, enter the new quota value.

1. Choose **Request**.

1. To view any pending or recently resolved requests in the console, choose **Dashboard** from the navigation pane. For pending requests, choose the status of the request to open the request receipt. The initial status of a request is **Pending**. After the status changes to **Quota requested**, you'll see the case number with Support. Choose the case number to open the ticket for your request.
