Understanding and managing quotas
Rate limiting
When an API rate limit is reached, the service will respond with a ThrottlingException. To better handle rate limiting, AWS recommends implementing exponential backoff and retry strategies in your application.
Requesting a quota increase
If the default quotas do not meet your requirements, you can request a quota
increase through the Service Quotas page
