While creating EBS snapshot, you may receive the following error:
​ 
​Maximum allowed active snapshot limit exceeded.
​ 
This error message is usually accompanied with the "SnapshotLimitExceeded" error code.
​ 
This error occurs when there are too many EBS snapshots in your AWS account. To resolve the issue, you can do any of the following:

  • Delete some EBS snapshots. You can do this manually, or you can use Skeddly's "Delete EBS Snapshots" action, or

  • Contact AWS support and request an increase in your EBS snapshot limit
