Just in case AWS change check ids , here is command to get id.

# region must be us-east-1 as it only when support command works
CHECK_ID=$(aws --region us-east-1 support describe-trusted-advisor-checks --language en --query 'checks[?name==`Service Limits`].{id:id}[0].id' --output text)
echo $CHECK_ID
eW7HH0l7J9

For everybody that's still looking for this information, AWS makes you pay for premium support to get valid/useful output. Boo 👎.

An error occurred (SubscriptionRequiredException) when calling the DescribeTrustedAdvisorCheckResult operation: AWS Premium Support Subscription is required to use this service.```

Trusted Advisor requires a subscription to Support Contract, as explained here https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/technology/trusted-advisor/

2021 UPDATE

To find check ID :

aws --region us-east-1 support describe-trusted-advisor-checks --language en --query 'checks[?category==`service_limits`]'

Once you found the checkID (in the below example, I am using "EC2 On-Demand instances - Standard") :

aws support describe-trusted-advisor-check-result --region us-east-1 --check-id 0Xc6LMYG8P --output table --query 'result.sort_by(flaggedResources[?status!="ok"],&metadata[2])[].metadata'
