## AWS Cloud9 quotas
<a name="limits-core"></a>

The following table provides the default quotas for AWS Cloud9 for an AWS account. Unless otherwise noted, each limit is Region-specific. You can request an increase using the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI. To request a quota increase, see [ Requesting a quota increase ](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicequotas/latest/userguide/request-quota-increase.html) in the *Service Quotas User Guide*.

These increases are not granted immediately, so it might take a couple of days for your increase to become effective.


****  

| Resource | Default Limit | Adjustable | 
| --- | --- | --- | 
| Maximum number of AWS Cloud9 EC2 development environments |  [See the AWS documentation website for more details](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloud9/latest/user-guide/limits.html)  | Yes | 
| Maximum number of SSH environments |  [See the AWS documentation website for more details](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cloud9/latest/user-guide/limits.html)  | Yes | 
| Maximum number of members in an environment | The default maximum number of members is equal to the memory of the instance for that environment divided by 60 MB, with results rounded down. For example, an instance with 1 GiB of memory can have a maximum of 17 members (which is 1 GiB divided by 60 MB, rounded down).<br />If AWS Cloud9 cannot determine the memory of an instance, it defaults to a maximum of 8 users for each environment associated with that instance.<br />The absolute maximum number of members for an environment is 25. | No1 | 
| Maximum editable file size | 8 MB | No | 

1 You can [move an environment](move-environment.md#move-environment-move) to attempt to increase the default maximum number of members. However, the absolute maximum number of members for an environment is still 25.
