# Job limits

You might receive the error `You reached the resource limit for a single scrape job`. We impose this limit to prevent surprise bills from CloudWatch when large AWS environments are being monitored. This limit is applied per service across all configured regions for a job.

If you have a large AWS environment and the potential CloudWatch bill is acceptable, you can do the following:

- If you have one job that covers multiple regions, you can split the job into a single job for each region.
- Open a [support ticket](/docs/grafana-cloud/account-management/support/) to have the limit increased. When you open the ticket, choose the topic “Cloud Integrations” and the subject “Increase AWS Metrics Resource Limits”.
