I have a fresh AWS account with no certificates connected to it.
This is what it looks like when I try to request a certificate for a domain through the Amazon Certificate Manager:
![Error message when requesting a certificate.[1]](https://i.stack.imgur.com/0GORv.png)
Trying the aws acm request-certificate command from the command line gives me:
An error occurred (LimitExceededException) when calling the
RequestCertificate operation: Cannot request more certificates in this account.
Contact Customer Service for details
The documentation mention limits, but I have no certificates so I shouldn't have exceeded it.
Any ideas what the problem might be?

AWS Certificate Manager is a service that lets you easily provision, manage, and deploy public and private Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) certificates for use with AWS services and your internal connected resources.
The certificate you requested is displayed so that you can see the status of your request. After you write the DNS record or have ACM write the record for you, it typically takes DNS 30 minutes to propagate the record, and it might take several hours for Amazon to validate it and issue the certificate.
Certificates have a defined lifetime and for continued use need to be renewed before they expire.
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the ACM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/acm/home . Choose Request a certificate. In the Domain names section, type your domain name. You can use a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), such as www.example.com , or a bare or apex domain name such as example.com .
One thing that is not on most answers here. When you create an account and/or haven't used it much (the representative from aws' answer was unclear as to what constitutes a proper usage of the account in the beginning) your limit is actually 0.
So your choices here are request a limit increase or wait until it reaches some sort of adequate usage as required by AWS.

This was solved by AWS support, not sure what the actual issue was.
