AWS IAM Identity Center updated its quota system to provide separate limits for AWS accounts and applications within a single instance, each defaulting to 7,000 configurations independently. This separation prevents one resource type from reducing capacity for the other, beneficial for large enterprise organizations.
Existing customers with higher limits automatically receive this expanded quota. Additionally, customers can request further quota increases via the AWS Service Quotas console. This change facilitates smoother onboarding of thousands of accounts and applications without cross-quota interference across all supported regions.
