Error Message

“xxxxxxxx - The requested resource exceeds the maximum number allowed. (Service: AmazonCloudWatchEvents)”

Problem

There is a soft limit of 100 CloudWatch rules per region per account. Here is some more info on all the CloudWatch Events limits.

Solution

To get around the limit, you can try removing unused CloudWatch rules.

Or if you need to create additional rules, submit a support ticket to increase your CloudWatch rules limit.
