> EBS only lets you resize once every 6–24 hours

Is that even true? I've resized an EBS instance a few minutes after another resize before.

AWS documents it as "After modifying a volume, you must wait at least six hours and ensure that the volume is in the in-use or available state before you can modify the same volume" but community posts suggest you can get up to 8 resizes in the six hour window.

The 6-hour counter is most certainly, painfully true. If you work with an AWS rep please complain about this in every session; maybe if we all do they will reduce the counter :P.
