中文步骤

  1. 使用 delete-db-snapshot 命令删除不再需要的旧手动快照，然后重试创建快照。
  2. 使用自动快照或在删除前将快照导出到 S3 以释放配额，然后创建新的手动快照。

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Request a service limit increase for manual snapshots. 50% fail

    AWS may deny the increase for manual snapshots; the limit is often hard-capped per account.

  2. Create a new DB instance and try again. 95% fail

    The quota is per region, not per instance; creating a new instance doesn't free up snapshot storage.

  3. Convert manual snapshots to automated backups. 80% fail

    Automated backups have separate limits but don't replace manual snapshots; you can't convert them directly.
