This document lists the quotas and limits that apply to the Cloud Quotas API. For more information on quotas, see Virtual Private Cloud quotas.
A quota restricts how much of a shared Google Cloud resource your Google Cloud project can use, including hardware, software, and network components. Therefore, quotas are a part of a system that does the following:
- Monitors your use or consumption of Google Cloud products and services.
- Restricts your consumption of those resources, for reasons that include ensuring fairness and reducing spikes in usage.
- Maintains configurations that automatically enforce prescribed restrictions.
- Provides a means to request or make changes to the quota.
In most cases, when a quota is exceeded, the system immediately blocks access to the relevant Google resource, and the task that you're trying to perform fails. In most cases, quotas apply to each Google Cloud project and are shared across all applications and IP addresses that use that Google Cloud project.
There are also limits on Cloud Quotas resources. These limits are unrelated to the quota system. Limits cannot be changed unless otherwise stated.
Request quotas
The following quotas apply to Cloud Quotas requests:
| Quota | Value |
|---|---|
| Read requests per minute, per project | 1200 |
| Update requests per minute, per project | 60 |
| Quota increase requests per day, per project | 300 |
Request a quota adjustment
To increase or decrease most quotas, use the Google Cloud console. For more information, see Request a higher quota.
