I saw some delay's on companies using ec2 for processing (like animoto and vimeo) so i checked CS and it corresponded. It's probably caused by the sqs and s3 issues. Thanks and say hi to Javier from me! Hi Jon,

Thanks for the extra info. I saw some delay’s on companies using ec2 for processing (like animoto and vimeo) so i checked CS and it corresponded. It’s probably caused by the sqs and s3 issues.

The issue stems from 'zombie' launched EC2 processes. We launch thousands of instances to check the availability of EC2 deployment time, however sometimes they come up 'zombie' (an issue Amazon is aware of). This sometimes causes us to exceed our quota.
