AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) Private Certificate Authority (CA) has increased the limits per account for certificate creation and certificate revocation. The limits on the lifetime total certificates generated and revoked by a single CA has been increased from 50,000 to 1,000,000. This applies to all regions for which ACM Private CA is available. This limit increase is intended for organizations doing large scale certificate deployment to IOT, endpoints, and devices.
