Maximum number of allowed versions changes for SSM Parameter

Question

I have an SSM parameter created which will need a frequent update to it (almost 20 times a min). The SSM put_parameter API says it can return some error in case it exceeds the max limit versions.

ParameterMaxVersionLimitExceeded The parameter exceeded the maximum number of allowed versions.

HTTP Status Code: 400

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/APIReference/API_PutParameter.html

So my question is what is the maximum allowed version changes we can make and is that limit configurable?

official documentation reference will be highly helpful

Answer 1

For your question, there is a limit for storing the 100 past values for the parameter. For more information, you can go through the below link: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_service_limits.html#limits_ssm

For raising the limit, you can raise a service request from your AWS Account by using the Support Center.
