Reduced October Storage Limits - Estimated Storage was WAY OFF
When I placed my holiday orders in July, our storage limits were estimated to double in October. Just check today instead of storage limits increasing, our "confirmed" storage limits have reduced 25% from our current limits. We are highly seasonal and the storage limits won't increase until December, after it's too late to send anything in. How are we supposed to work like this?

Greetings @Seller_aNryBfYO3DTmL, and thank you for raising this here on the forums.
How capacity limits are set can vary depending on your selling plan + some additional factors.
Individual selling accounts have a capacity limit of 15 cubic feet; this limit doesn’t change and is not eligible to be increased.
New professional selling accounts (active in FBA for less than 39 weeks) don’t receive FBA capacity limits. This allows you to establish your FBA sales record without limits so that we can determine how much capacity your FBA business needs as you grow.
Professional selling accounts (active in FBA for more than 39 weeks) receive capacity limits based on IPI score and sales performance. Sellers with consistently higher IPI scores receive higher capacity limits, adjusted for sales volume and available capacity. Usage against your FBA capacity limits will consider your inventory on-hand at Amazon and open shipments on the way to our fulfillment centers, calculated in cubic feet.
Your capacity limit is influenced by your IPI score, as well as other factors such as historical sales volume, seasonal and peak selling periods for your products, forecasts for your ASINs, the new selection that you carry, deals that you’ve scheduled, fulfillment center capacity, and shipment lead time. My recommendation is to request additional capacity via Capacity Manager, if you are able. If you have any additional questions on this please don't hesitate to ask!
