This document lists the quotas and system limits that apply to Google Cloud Scheduler.
- Quotas specify the amount of a countable, shared resource that you can use. Quotas are defined by Google Cloud services such as Google Cloud Scheduler.
- System limits are fixed values that cannot be changed.
Google Cloud uses quotas to help ensure fairness and reduce spikes in resource use and availability. A quota restricts how much of a Google Cloud resource your Google Cloud project can use. Quotas apply to a range of resource types, including hardware, software, and network components. For example, quotas can restrict the number of API calls to a service, the number of load balancers used concurrently by your project, or the number of projects that you can create. Quotas protect the community of Google Cloud users by preventing the overloading of services. Quotas also help you to manage your own Google Cloud resources.
The Cloud Quotas system does the following:
- Monitors your consumption of Google Cloud products and services
- Restricts your consumption of those resources
- Provides a way to request changes to the quota value
In most cases, when you attempt to consume more of a resource than its quota allows, the system blocks access to the resource, and the task that you're trying to perform fails.
Quotas generally apply at the Google Cloud project level. Your use of a resource in one project doesn't affect your available quota in another project. Within a Google Cloud project, quotas are shared across all applications and IP addresses.
There are also system limits on Cloud Scheduler resources. System limits can't be changed.
Quotas
Google Cloud Scheduler enforces the following quotas by default for each Google Cloud project. You can increase or decrease these quotas:
| Resource | Value |
|---|---|
Read API requests per minute (including ListJobs,
GetJob, ListLocations, and GetLocation) |
1250 |
Write API requests per minute (including CreateJob,
UpdateJob, DeleteJob, PauseJob,
ResumeJob, and RunJob) |
500 |
| Number of jobs (per region) | Default: 1000 Max: 5000 |
| Fixed maximum job size (payload) | 1 MB total including ~1 KB request overhead |
Limits
Cloud Scheduler enforces the following usage limits. You can't request changes to these limits:
| Limit | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Job duration | The maximum duration (from start time to end time) for a job execution with an HTTP target; any jobs that pass this limit end with a time-out error and are retried according to the configured retry policy. | 30 minutes |
Requesting a quota increase or decrease
To adjust most quotas, use the Google Cloud console. For more information, see Request a quota adjustment.
