# Find scaling policies with a previously set instance warmup time
<a name="find-policies-with-a-previously-set-instance-warmup"></a>

To identify whether you have policies that have their own warmup time for `EstimatedInstanceWarmup`, run the following [describe-policies](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/autoscaling/describe-policies.html) command using the AWS CLI. Replace *my-asg* with the name of your Auto Scaling group.

```
aws autoscaling describe-policies --auto-scaling-group-name my-asg
  --query 'ScalingPolicies[?EstimatedInstanceWarmup!=`null`]'
```

The following is example output. 

```
