While creating a new IAM role I am getting Rate exceeded
I have around 215 roles for my AWS account.
Is that a limit, if it is how can i increase it? if not a limit how I can resolve it?

The Rate exceeded error occurs when API calls to an AWS service exceed the maximum allowed API requests, and the API calls are throttled. Generally, these errors are temporary and resolve themselves as the API calls lessen. To prevent Rate exceeded errors, you can: Implement exponential backoff.
IAM groups Create another IAM group. You can have up to 300 IAM groups per account. Attach the managed policy to the IAM user instead of the IAM group. You can attach up to 20 managed policies to IAM roles and users.
You can add as many inline policies as you want to an IAM user, role, or group. But the total aggregate policy size (the sum size of all inline policies) per entity cannot exceed the following limits: User policy size cannot exceed 2,048 characters. Role policy size cannot exceed 10,240 characters.
There is wide spread issue in at AWS affecting IAM.

Increased IAM API Error Rates
We have identified the root cause of the increased error rates and latencies on the AWS IAM CreateRole and CreateServiceLinkedRole APIs and are working towards resolution. Other AWS services such as AWS CloudFormation whose features require these actions may also be impacted. User authentications and authorizations are not impacted.
11:30 PM PDT We are investigating increased error rates and latencies on AWS IAM administrative APIs with potential impact in multiple regions. IAM role creation is impacted. Other AWS services whose features require these actions may also be impacted. User authentications and authorizations are not impacted.
Jun 12, 12:03 AM PDT We continue to investigate increased error rates and latencies on AWS IAM administrative APIs with potential impact in multiple regions. IAM role creation is impacted.

I just got this error today. I have very few roles so was surprised. After reading this post I simply clicked the 'create role' button a few times and on the 4th attempt the role was created.
