Project quotas and limits

Project quotas and limits

Project quotas and limits apply to resources:

Project quotas and limits for the cloud platform⁠

Each project defaults to project limits, which are restrictions on the creation of cloud platform resources.Project limits can only be changed through technical support.

Within project limits, users with specific roles can increase or decrease resource quotas in the control panel or via the API, see the Change Quotas subsection for details.

Project limits⁠

Projects are allocated a limit per resource — this is the maximum number of resources that can be created in one project.Limits are set automatically when the project is created.

Limits of one resource can differ in different pools and pool segments.By default, the limits of a certain resource in one pool or pool segment are the same in all projects of an account.

You can increase the limit of any project through technical support.You can set different limits for different projects. As you use the product, the limits can be increased automatically.

Increase the project limit⁠

Different limits can be set for different projects.

  1. Create a ticket. Limits will increase only in one project.
  2. Increase quotas.

quotas⁠

Quotas can be used to limit the creation of cloud resources in a project — to control consumption and limit costs.

When the amount of the resource reaches the quota value, the resource will stop being created. For example, you have allocated a quota in one project to create ten vCPUs in the ru-7a pool segment.Until you increase the quota, no more than ten vCPUs will be created.You can completely limit the resource creation by setting the quota to zero.

When a project is created, quotas equal to the project limits are allocated to each resource by default.The quota values of one resource may differ in different pools and pool segments.You can change the quotas within the project limits.

Unused quotas are not paid for — you pay only for the resources used.For example, if you have allocated a quota for ten public IP addresses, but created three IP addresses — only three addresses will be paid for.

Change quotas⁠

The quota value for each resource can be increased or decreased, but only within the project limit. A different number of quotas can be allocated for one resource in different pools and pool segments.

You can change all project quotas at the same time: increase to the maximum (project limit) or reduce to the current consumption.

  1. In the control panel, on the top menu, click Account.

  2. Go to the Projects section.

  3. Open the Quotas and Limits tab.

  4. Select the region and pool in which you want to change quotas.

  5. In the row of the desired quota in the Quota column, click .

  6. Specify a new quota value. The quota value must not be less than the current consumption, you can see it in the Usage column. If you have reached the maximum quota value, increase the project limit.

  7. Click .

  8. Optional: to change all project quotas at the same time:

    • increase to the project limit — click Increase to maximum;
    • reduce to current consumption — click Reduce to consumption.

View cloud platform quota consumption⁠

You can see the current consumption of the project, the maximum possible consumption for the current number of quotas (how much the project will spend if all quotas are used) and the current number of used quotas for each resource and pool.

  1. In the control panel, on the top menu, click Account.
  2. Go to the Projects section.
  3. Open the project page → Quotas and Limits tab → Cloud Platform.
  4. In the Current Project Consumption line, see how much money the project is currently consuming.
  5. To see the maximum possible consumption of the project, click How much will the project consume if I use all the allocated quotas?
  6. In the table in the Usage column, see the current quota consumption of each resource.

Project limits for object storage⁠

By default, object storage has no limits, you can store any amount of files as long as there is money in your balance to pay for the storage.

To control the amount of downloaded data and resource consumption, you can set a limit on the amount of data that is stored in all containers in the project.You can set limits for a specific container separately, see the Container Limits instruction for details.

If the limit is set:

  • when 90% of the storage space from the set limit is occupied, a warning message will appear in the control panel;
  • when the limit is reached, a notification will appear in the control panel, and the repository will return an error when you try to load objects. To continue loading, free up space or increase the limit.

Set limit⁠

  1. In the control panel, on the top menu, click Account.
  2. Go to the Projects section.
  3. Open the project page → Quotas and Limits tab → Object Storage.
  4. Select the region and pool where you want to set the limit.
  5. Click Change Limit.
  6. Turn on the Maximum Size toggle switch.
  7. Enter the limit value in gigabytes.
  8. Click Save.
