1. Login to the AWS Console of the concerned account.

3. Select Buckets and click Request quota increase.
4. Enter a new value for Change Quota Value. Eg: 150.
5. Click Request button.

The quota increase will be done. If required, AWS support team will contact the AWS account owner for justification.

The status of the the increase request can be seen on your AWS account under Service Quotas > Quota request history.
