Starting October 1, 2025, Amazon will replace quarterly FBA storage limits with monthly capacity limits in Australia, Brazil, and Mexico. This brings these marketplaces in line with how limits are already managed in the US, EU, UK, Japan, and Canada.
What’s changing:
Monthly capacity limits will replace quarterly storage limits
Limits will be announced during the fourth week of each month via Capacity Monitor and email
You’ll now see three months of capacity data at once: confirmed limits for the next month and estimates for the two months after that
Limits are tailored based on your IPI score, past sales, seasonal trends, new ASINs, upcoming deals, and more
Capacity is now measured in volume (cubic feet/metres) instead of units, but Amazon will still estimate how many units that volume allows
Limits include both on-hand inventory and inbound shipments that haven’t yet arrived
Why this matters for sellers:
You’ll be able to plan and manage inventory month-to-month, with updates that reflect your latest performance
Estimates for future months help you prepare for peak seasons, deals, or restocks in advance
Sellers who manage their inventory well (high IPI scores, efficient sell-through) are less likely to be impacted
To view your October capacity and estimates for November, head to Capacity Monitor in Seller Central.
