Amazon EventBridge Scheduler adds resource count metrics for quota monitoring

Posted on: Feb 25, 2026

Amazon EventBridge Scheduler now emits resource count metrics to Amazon CloudWatch, enabling you to monitor the approximate number of schedules and schedule groups in your account. These new metrics help you identify when you're approaching your service quota limits so you can request increases before running out of capacity. You can increase the schedules quota, for instance, from the default of 10 million to billions.

With Amazon EventBridge Scheduler, you can create billions of scheduled events and tasks that run across a wide range of Amazon Web Services services, without provisioning or managing infrastructure. You can set up one-time or recurring schedules using cron expressions, rate expressions, or specific times, with support for time zones and daylight savings. Today's addition of resource count metrics enhances your ability to manage capacity planning and scale your scheduled workloads with confidence.

These metrics are available at no additional cost in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.

To learn more, see the Monitoring EventBridge Scheduler documentation or view the metrics in the CloudWatch console.
