Requesting AWS limit increase of EC2 instances - how long does it take?

I need a few p2 instances but my limit is 0, I submitted a request about 7 hours ago but it's still 'unassigned', so probably no one ever paid it any attention. How long does it normally take to increase my instance limit and is there a way to expedite it?

I signed up for AWS and immediately requested a limit increase for p2. It took them about 48 hours to acknowledge my request and escalate to the service team. The email says that the service team could take up to 48 hours from now.

Request limits don't take that long except pre-warming of load balancers. Best way is to fill up the request increase form and then choose contact method as phone. This way, you get a call from AWS, an assistant is assigned to you and your request is taken care in max 15 minutes.

Just do document my experience: it took Amazon 17 hours just to acknowledge my request, which they escalated to the Service Team so it will take another 24/48 hours.

I'm going to say it depends on your support level. Assuming the basic level, it's 24 hours I believe. If you are an enterprise you can expedite by going to your account team (which they now do have for larger customers or opportunities).
