Policy: AWS > EC2 > Account Attributes > Instance Metadata Service Defaults > HTTP Token Hop Limit

The number of network hops that the metadata token can travel.

How this value is compared against the account's actual default hop limit is controlled by the Comparison Mode policy: with Exact match (the default) the account default must use exactly this value; with Maximum the value is treated as a ceiling and a lower (more restrictive) hop limit is also compliant.

The larger the number, the further instance metadata requests can travel.

Maximum is 64.
