CloudWatch Events rule Limits

Question

what is the maximum number of rules for cloud watch I can create on my AWS account. I might have a lot of different rules that will invoke lambda function on schedule. Is it unlimited?

Answer 1

The basic limits are documented at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/DeveloperGuide/cloudwatch_limits.html - currently 50 rules per account.

If you need more, reach out through your AWS contact and these can be expanded.

Answer 2

This is no longer 50 and has been increased to 100 per region per account.

As per this link:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/events/cloudwatch_limits_cwe.html

And as mentioned by johnny: this can be increased further on request (if amazon approves the request).
