aws s3 sdk returns “You have attempted to create more buckets than allowed”

I’m using aws s3 SDK in my code. In my tests I’m trying to create/drop buckets for the test.

My sdk version is 1.11.800 :

<aws-s3-sdk.version>1.11.800</aws-s3-sdk.version>
<aws-java-sdk-core.version>1.11.800</aws-java-sdk-core.version>

The creation’s code is exactly the same as in aws examples :

 public void createBucket(String bucketName){
        try {
            if (!s3Client.doesBucketExistV2(bucketName)) {
                // Because the CreateBucketRequest object doesn't specify a region, the
                // bucket is created in the region specified in the client.
                s3Client.createBucket(new CreateBucketRequest(bucketName));

                // Verify that the bucket was created by retrieving it and checking its location.
                String bucketLocation = s3Client.getBucketLocation(new GetBucketLocationRequest(bucketName));
                System.out.println("Bucket location: " + bucketLocation);
            }
        } catch (AmazonServiceException e) {
            // The call was transmitted successfully, but Amazon S3 couldn't process
            // it and returned an error response.
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (SdkClientException e) {
            // Amazon S3 couldn't be contacted for a response, or the client
            // couldn't parse the response from Amazon S3.
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

The exception :

  • I got more than 100 buckets in my account but when I try to create a bucket in the aws console I create it successfully without any problems.

  • When I create the bucket manually and run my other tests (that don’t create this bucket) I can successfully put and delete content from the bucket so it isn’t a credentials issue.

Answer

By default, an AWS account is soft limited to 100 S3 buckets.

You need to submit a service limit increase request by creating a new case through the support portal.. Once they override the default soft limit on your account you may create up to 1000 S3 buckets.
