Hi,

I need help to understand why I only see see 1 worker in ethermine.org even though I have created 3 stacks in each Zone in AWS.

The instances don’t report a unique worker ID, they’re all summed up under “default”. Guessing from your rather high hashrate you’re certainly running a large number of instances and they all contributing to the “default” worker. Each instance typically does 25~50 MH/s so you’re likely running between 40 ~ 80 instances?

No worries it works as expected :)

That's correct, I'm running about 40 instances and I just added another 40 but I keep hitting the limit and I tried using the your code to request more access and it keeps failing

Unfortunately AWS is quite reluctant to approve GPU limits increase at the moment unless you've got a very good usecase (where crypto mining probably doesn't make the cut). It's the same with GCP and Azure - GPU shortage affects all the clouds.
