vagrant-aws RequestLimitExceeded exception

Hello. When we are starting about 20 instances in parallel - it raises RequestLimitExceeded from AWS API. The problem is here: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant-aws/blob/master/lib/vagrant-aws/action/run_instance.rb#L135, server.wait_for send requests every second. To avoid this just need to use second argument - server.wait_for(2, 5) - and requests will be every 5 seconds.

I'm having the same issue, I try to start 40 machine but half of them fail with error "RequestLimitExceeded" And I've checked the source code in vagrant-aws has already got what @pyromaniac mentioned After roughly review the code I think the one doing parallization is Vagrant itself in "batch_action.rb" My guess we need to be able control the throttle in Vagrant with some argument Anyone have encountered the same issue? Any idea?

Currently, my workaround is just keep retrying vagrant up until I don't see any error

@beelit94 I've a class level variable that manages with a limit of 9 that makes sure at any point of time only 9 instances are brought up. I faced a lot of issues when I increased it to any number beyond 9.
