Why Was My EC2 Service Quota Denied for Extra vCPUs?

Asked By CloudyExplorer82 On

I just had my request for more vCPUs on my EC2 service denied, and they said it's to avoid increasing costs too much. I need these extra vCPUs so I can run some basic t4g.nano NAT instances. My NAT Gateway limit is currently capped at 5, but it doesn't seem like that's enough for my needs. I'm a bit frustrated because AWS emphasizes unlimited scaling in their Cloud Practitioner certification—how does that align with my situation?

How old is your AWS account and what specific quota did you ask for? Might help to narrow down the issue.

It sounds like your account is old enough to have a quota limit for 5 NAT gateways. I’m curious though—with less than 16 vCPUs, why do you need so many NAT gateways? That seems a bit excessive.

Have you thought about redesigning your setup to require fewer NAT gateways? They tend to be on the pricey side, so it’d be worth considering.

I’ve noticed these denials often affect accounts that are flagged as high-risk. Have you checked your account profile for any red flags?
