Quotas and limits

Project quota

Cloud Asset Inventory enforces the rate of incoming requests based on the consumer project. The default quotas are as follows:

Quota Value
BatchGetAssetsHistory 100 per minute per consumer project
ExportAssets

60 per minute per consumer project

6000 per day per consumer project

ListAssets 100 per minute per consumer project
SearchAllIamPolicies 400 per minute per consumer project
SearchAllResources 400 per minute per consumer project

You can use the APIs and services quotas dashboard to view current quotas and usage for your project.

Resource organization quota

In addition to the per-project quota, Cloud Asset Inventory also enforces rate limits on incoming requests based on resource organization. The limits are as follows:

Quota Value
BatchGetAssetsHistory

180 per minute per organization

195,000 per day per organization

ExportAssets

75 per minute per organization

13,000 per day per organization

ListAssets

800 per minute per organization

650,000 per day per organization

SearchAllIamPolicies 3,000 per minute per organization
SearchAllResources 1,500 per minute per organization

Downstream services

In addition to limits enforced by Cloud Asset Inventory, the number of incoming requests is also capped by the rate and quota of the downstream services that Cloud Asset Inventory depends on.

BigQuery

  • Table operations: BigQuery has a quota limit for table operations, which defines the maximum number of ExportAssets API requests to the same BigQuery table that can be performed daily. ExportAssets issues 2 table operations per table per request.

  • Query jobs: BigQuery has a concurrent rate limit for query job, which defines the maximum number of concurrent ExportAssets API requests that can be issued per project.

    Request a quota increase

If you have access to the Security Command Center Premium or Enterprise tier at the organization level, you can contact your account representative to request a Cloud Asset Inventory quota increase. Activating Security Command Center Premium or Enterprise only at the project level might not quality you for additional quota.

Access to the Security Command Center Premium or Enterprise tier also automatically grants an unlimited number of analysis queries per organization per day.
