AWS Organizations now provides maximum account quota visibility in Service Quotas

AWS Organizations allows customers to view their account quota limits and utilization directly through Service Quotas, enabling proactive account growth planning.

AWS Organizations customers can now view their maximum number of accounts quota and its utilization directly through AWS Service Quotas instead of relying on AWS Support or AWS account teams. By logging into the management account and accessing the Service Quotas console or calling the Service Quotas GetServiceQuota API, customers can monitor their current account quota utilization and request increases before reaching their limit. This quota visibility is now available in US East (N. Virginia). For more information, see viewing service quotas in the AWS Service Quotas documentation.
