Dear All,

I am facing throttling issue in AWS KMS.  
I just want to understand why? I am using below task to perform upgrade on instances.

- aws\_kms\_facts:  
region: “{{ region }}”  
filters:  
alias: “{{ envrn }}-{{ region }}-iqbot-ebs-key”  
register: iqbot\_ebs\_key

I am getting exceptions for below quotas and need to understand how much API above script call for one instance?

- listkeypolicies

- listgrants (happened mostly)

- listresourcetags

by default, I have 100 API call per second but still it get throttled.

Thanks

Dear Komal,

I already gone this document but this is not related with ansible. Basically I want in background how ansible call the mentioned resource quotas.

If you know that then please let me know.

Thanks & Regards,
