AWS is now tying up all the loose ends - its latest update notes, "We are continuing to work towards full recovery for EC2 launch errors (which may manifest as an Insufficient Capacity Error). Additionally, we continue to work toward mitigation for elevated polling delays for Lambda, specifically for Lambda Event Source Mappings for SQS."

The good news is that this incident doesn't seem to have been a cyberattack - but instead, a case of AWS' own systems suffering under their own weight.
Rafe Pilling, Director of Threat Intelligence at Sophos, told us, "When anything like this happens the concern that it's a cyber incident is understandable. AWS has a far reaching and intricate footprint, so any issue can cause a major upset.
"In this case it looks like it is an IT issue on the database side and they will be working to remedy it as an absolute priority."
