I need a few p2 instances but my limit is 0, I submitted a request about 7 hours ago but it's still 'unassigned', so probably no one ever paid it any attention. How long does it normally take to increase my instance limit and is there a way to expedite it?

Even though I only needed to create a single instance, the default quota was set to zero. Normally, requesting a quota increase isn't a big deal. It takes Amazon a few days to approve the request, but the process of requesting a quota increase is painless.
Your AWS account has default quotas, formerly referred to as limits, for each AWS service. Unless otherwise noted, each quota is Region-specific. You can request increases for some quotas, and other quotas cannot be increased.
Status checks are performed every minute, returning a pass or a fail status. If all checks pass, the overall status of the instance is OK. If one or more checks fail, the overall status is impaired. Status checks are built into Amazon EC2, so they cannot be disabled or deleted.
I'm going to say it depends on your support level. Assuming the basic level, it's 24 hours I believe. If you are an enterprise you can expedite by going to your account team (which they now do have for larger customers or opportunities).

Just do document my experience: it took Amazon 17 hours just to acknowledge my request, which they escalated to the Service Team so it will take another 24/48 hours.
