Summary

Removed specific evidence limits for assessment reports and generalized the failure reason as size, suggesting generating multiple reports as a workaround.

Security assessment

The change addresses report generation failures by removing specific numerical limits and suggesting batching. No security vulnerability, weakness, or incident is referenced. This is a usability improvement without security implications.

-Audit Manager limits how much evidence you can add to an assessment report. The limit is based on the AWS Region of your assessment, the Region of the S3 bucket that's used as your assessment report destination, and whether your assessment uses a customer managed AWS KMS key.
-
-  1. The limit is 22,000 for same-Region reports (where the S3 bucket and assessment are in the same AWS Region)
-
-  2. The limit is 3,500 for cross-Region reports (where the S3 bucket and assessment are in different AWS Regions)
-
-  3. The limit is 3,500 if the assessment uses a customer managed KMS key

-As a workaround, you can generate multiple assessment reports rather than one larger assessment report. By doing this, you can export evidence from your assessment into more manageable-sized batches.
+If your assessment report fails to generate, the most probable cause is the size of the report. As a workaround, you can generate multiple assessment reports rather than one larger assessment report. By doing this, you can export evidence from your assessment into more manageable-sized batches.
