Amazon FBA Capacity Limits: Why You Get Blocked, and How to Stay Ahead

What an FBA capacity limit is

Your FBA capacity limit is the total inventory you are allowed to keep at Amazon, measured in cubic feet and set separately by storage type. Amazon updates it monthly through the Capacity Monitor in Seller Central.

Why you suddenly cannot send inventory

When your used cubic feet reach your confirmed limit, Amazon blocks you from creating new shipping plans until usage drops, and can charge overage fees. Both on-hand stock and inbound shipments count, so you can hit the wall before your warehouse even looks full.

What decides how much space you get

How we keep you ahead of the cap

We watch your cubic-foot utilization, time your inbound so you do not tip over the limit, keep IPI inputs healthy so your limit grows, and handle capacity requests when you need more room. Limits and thresholds are set by Amazon and can change.
