Didn’t get anything from Amazon.
Nothing obviously changed, still have plenty capacity for units and no space limit based on IPI.
Maybe they are preparing for Black Friday and Cyber Monday now that’s why you see a drop in units limit.
Hope you have enough space for upcoming holiday seasons.
And hey, I’m really happy to see another fellow Chinese seller sharing other than asking, really rare.

I love how right before the holidays each year they slash limits, then increase then dramatically after.
Somehow, this is supposed to “enable all sellers to be able to send sufficient inventory to meet future customer demand” but instead actually just prevent it as it actually makes it harder as it is ass backwards.
Seller_LlZQTjYrIbQaT
Yeah, almost exactly 40% Slashed as well. IPI: 449
I have to say though… the inventory limit slashing was more extreme last year.
Seller_3N7yVnTXPzLkL
FC space is being reduced by sublets and other money saving initiatives.
My Amazon orders are arriving via carriers other than Amazon Logistics, from further locations.
It is the beginning of a new normal, and these limits are logically aimed at the same goal - cost reduction.

My inventory was slashed by half overnight as well. We barely had enough for the holiday season and now we definitely don’t. What is going on?!
Our IPI score is 670+
Seller_Yvu9QfhV55nVu
The inventory levels till yesterday were unrealistic and too generous…
My limit is cut by over 50%…
So what ?
Now I utilize 10% of my storage…in the best case I may double it.
The issue is not by how much amazon cut our storage, but really how much do we need for 3-4 months.
As of today…my days in inventory is 25 days…why should I need more storage?
Seller_eJ6oZ0suC66Hr
It would be nice if Amazon would actually notify us of these changes beforehand. That way we don’t go sending in inventory we don’t absolutely have to, now preventing us from sending inventory we actually need to. For those that will say well then everyone will just send in a whole set of inventory at once, Amazon could easily solve that problem by charging exorbitant prices for storage that’s over the limit.

I got an email saying they were cutting everybody down to 4 months worth of inventory.
Hello,
We want to ensure that we can receive, store, and fulfill products in a timely manner for all sellers using FBA. One of the ways we do this is through restock limits that enable all sellers to be able to send sufficient inventory to meet future customer demand.
As we prepare for the busy holiday season, those demand patterns naturally change. To ensure a successful holiday season, including accounting for seasonality and scheduled deals, we are updating our restock limits to allow all sellers to have at least four months of inventory in FBA. While all sellers using FBA will see their limits updated, this updated limit will currently restrict about 5% of sellers using FBA from being able to restock additional products due to their already having high levels of inventory.
Our records show that your current inventory levels (including open shipments) are within our projected four months of inventory limit, and so these limits should not have an impact on your current ability to restock products. As always, you can review your current restock limits and maximum shipment quantity on the Inventory Performance dashboard (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/inventory-performance/dashboard).
Your restock limits are determined by a range of factors, including seasonal and peak selling periods for your products, forecasts for your ASINs, the new selection you carry, deals you have scheduled and fulfillment center capacity. For more information on restock limits, go to Restock limits by storage type: Frequently asked questions (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external/GUWWC8QVAF8TFVFR).
You can create more room for products within your limits by selling through your inventory, creating removal orders for products that are unlikely to sell, or canceling non-urgent shipments to fulfillment centers. For more recommendations, go to FBA Inventory (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/inventoryplanning/manageinventoryhealth).
We thank you for choosing to sell on Amazon and for all you do to provide an excellent experience for customers by maintaining healthy levels of inventory.

Mine just went from 120,000 units to 40,000. A 66% decrease. Our IPI is 712. Thank God I put in my holiday orders last week, but now I’m over my limit by more than double.
Seller_vF4p93YVT9w2a
The “forecasting” for seasonality in the updated inventory limits is an absolute joke. The inventory I’m allotted this year for Q4 is less than 50% of what I actually sold in Q4 of last year, even though sales YTD is the same amount as last year.
How is this possible?!
