This is a limitation currently enforced by RDS. You can request from RDS team to increase the limit for your AWS account. Here is a link to all limitations enforced by AWS: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_service_limits.html#limits_rds
In addition, you should schedule maintenance of RDS to delete old snapshots.
