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

QueryAssets 20 per minute per organization for requests with a query statement
200 per minute per organization for requests with a job reference
Real-time feed APIs 30 per minute per organization
SearchAllResources 1,500 per minute per organization
SearchAllIamPolicies 3,000 per minute per organization

Policy Analyzer expansion limits

The Policy Analyzer limits group expansion in the group memberships and resource expansion in the resource hierarchy to the following values.

Limit Value
AnalyzeIamPolicy group expansion 1000 per group
AnalyzeIamPolicy resource expansion 1000 per resource
AnalyzeIamPolicyLongrunning resource expansion 100000 per resource

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.
