alt Hacker NewsSurprisingly, 3GB is a real practical RAM limit for aws lambdas in 2025: you can only have more than that if you submit a support ticket. But it's not really mentioned anywhere in the docs.

Is what you're talking about a new thing? Or respectfully, are you just wrong?

The default Lambda quota for all accounts is 10240 MB. I've never seen it below that (in recent memory, at least), even on fresh accounts not connected to a big org.
I know I routinely use 10gb of RAM for my account that's never talked to support for the related CPU allocation.
