SES Production Access Request Has Been Pending for Over 24 Hours

Asked by MellowCedar42
I submitted a request to move my Amazon SES account out of the sandbox about 28 hours ago, but I still haven't received a response. This is blocking testing for my application. I tried contacting support, but the system says I'm not eligible to open a support request. Is there anything I can do besides wait?

A delay like this can be normal, especially over a weekend or when you donโ€™t have a paid support plan. Production-access requests may take several business days, so there usually isnโ€™t a way to speed them up. Itโ€™s best to submit these requests well before they block a launch or testing schedule.

MellowCedar42: Thatโ€™s a lesson learned for me. Iโ€™ll make sure to plan for the review time next time.

QuietMaple88: Mine took around three days, so waiting a little longer may be all you can do.
