I get the following error when deploying to EB:

ERROR: You cannot have more than 500 Application Versions. Either remove some Application Versions or request a limit increase.

I went manually and deleted some versions. I don't want deploys to fail because of this limit. Is there a way in Elastic Beanstalk to auto-evict unused versions?

A feature was recently added to eb cli (v3.3) to cleanup old versions

https://m.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/340ce0/whats_the_thinking_behind_beanstalks_versioning/

Copying command from reddit link 

$ eb labs cleanup-versions --help
usage: eb labs cleanup-versions [options...]

Cleans up old application versions.

optional arguments:
--num-to-leave NUM    number of versions to leave DEFAULT=10
--older-than DAYS     delete only versions older than x days DEFAULT=60
--force               don't prompt for confirmation
