Quotas and limits

This document lists the quotas and limits that apply to Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) networking.

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 VPC resources. System limits can't be changed.

Quotas

To change a quota, see requesting additional quota.

Per project

This table highlights important global quotas for VPC resources in each project. For other quotas, see the Quotas page in the Google Cloud console.

To monitor per-project quotas using Cloud Monitoring, set up monitoring for the metric serviceruntime.googleapis.com/quota/allocation/usage on the Consumer Quota resource type. Set additional label filters (service, quota_metric) to get to the quota type. For information about monitoring quota metrics, including finding limit names and metric names, see Use quota metrics. Each quota has a limit and a usage value.

Note: You can request an increase for a per-project quota's limit by using the Google Cloud console. If the edit option is not available for a quota, file a support case to ask if the quota's limit can be increased.

Quota	Description
Network bandwidth
GCE VM to internet egress bandwidth Mbps	Total egress bandwidth from Google Cloud VMs in one region to destinations outside of a VPC network (using the default internet gateway). This quota's usage is charged to the project that contains the Compute Engine VMs that emit the packets. Excludes traffic sent to Google APIs and services by using Private Google Access. Excludes traffic sent to Google APIs and services from VMs with external IP addresses.
Inter-region network egress bandwidth (Mbps) from Compute instances	Total egress bandwidth from Google Cloud VMs in one region to destinations that are routable within a VPC network (using next hops that are not the default internet gateway).

Per network

This table highlights important network quotas. For other quotas, see the Quotas page in the Google Cloud console.

Information on monitoring the available metrics using Cloud Monitoring is available at Use quota metrics. Each quota has a limit and a usage value.

Note: You can request an increase for a per-network quota's limit by using the Google Cloud console. If the edit option is not available for a quota, file a support case to ask if the quota's limit can be increased.

A per-network quota usually has a corresponding per-peering group quota applicable when VPC Network Peering is used. Per-peering group quotas have the concept of an effective limit.

Google Cloud uses an internal algorithm when dropping peering dynamic routes; you can't predict which peering dynamic routes are dropped. Subject to Cloud Router limits, Google Cloud never drops local dynamic routes (those routes learned by Cloud Router that are local to the VPC network itself). If a peering connection causes this limit to be exceeded, Google Cloud still lets you create the peering connection without a warning.

Deprecated quotas

Google Cloud no longer enforces the following quotas:

• Subnetworks: The Subnetwork ranges per VPC network quota is the replacement.

• Routes: The Static routes per network quota is the replacement.

Limits

Limits can't generally be increased unless specifically noted.

Shared VPC limits

The number of service projects that can be attached to a host project is a configurable per-project quota. In addition to that quota, the following limits apply to Shared VPC.

Item	Limit	Notes
Number of Shared VPC host projects in a single organization	100	To request an update to this limit, file a support case.
Number of host projects to which a service project can attach	1	This limit can't be increased.

Per network

The following limits apply to VPC networks. These limits are enforced by using quotas internally. When per-network limits are exceeded, you see QUOTA_EXCEEDED errors with the internal quota names.

Item	Limit	Notes
Subnet IP ranges
Primary IP ranges per subnet	1	Subnets must have exactly one primary IPv4 range (CIDR block). This limit can't be increased. For more information, see IPv4 subnet ranges.
Maximum number of secondary IP ranges per subnet	170	Subnets can optionally have subnet secondary IPv4 address ranges. This limit can't be increased. For more information, see IPv4 subnet ranges.
Routes
Maximum number of network tags per route	256	The maximum number of network tags that you can associate with a static route. This limit can't be increased.

IP address limits

Item	Limit	Notes
Public delegated prefixes per public advertised prefix	10	The number of public delegated prefixes (PDPs) that you can create from a public advertised prefix (PAP).

Per instance

The following limits apply to VM instances. Unless otherwise noted, these limits can't be increased. For quotas relevant to VMs, see Compute Engine quotas.

Item	Limit	Notes
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)	Between 1,300 bytes and 8,896 bytes (inclusive). Common values include 1460 bytes (default), 1500 bytes (standard Ethernet), and 8896 bytes (jumbo frames).	For more information, see Maximum transmission unit.
Maximum number of network interfaces	8	Network interfaces are defined at instance creation time, and can't be changed by editing the instance later.
Maximum number of alias IP ranges per network interface	150	The number of alias IP ranges that you can assign to a network interface as long as you don't exceed the quota for the total number of assigned alias IP ranges in the VPC network. Google Cloud does not consider the size of the alias IP range's netmask. For example, an individual /24 range is a single alias IP range and an individual /23 range is also a single alias IP range.
Network interfaces per VPC network	1	Each network interface must be connected to a unique VPC network. An instance can only have one network interface in a given VPC network.
Maximum duration for idle TCP connections	10 minutes	VPC networks automatically drop idle TCP connections after ten minutes. You can't change this limit, but you can use TCP keepalives to prevent connections to instances from becoming idle. For details, see Compute Engine tips and troubleshooting.
Maximum egress data rate to an internal IP address destination	Depends on the machine type of the VM	See Egress to internal IP address destinations and machine types in the Compute Engine documentation.
Maximum egress data rate to an external IP address destination	all flows: about 7 Gbps (gigabits per second) sustained or 25 Gbps with per VM Tier_1 networking performance single flow: 3 Gbps sustained	See Egress to external IP address destinations in the Compute Engine documentation.

Maximum ingress data rate to an external IP address destination	no more than 30 Gbps no more than 1,800,000 packets per second	See Ingress to external IP address destinations in the Compute Engine documentation.

Connection logging limits

The maximum number of connections that can be logged per VM instance depends on its machine type. Connection logging limits are expressed as the maximum number of connections that can be logged in a five-second interval.

Important: Firewall log entries are created on a best effort basis according to the following table. It is possible for entries to not be logged during periods of heavy traffic, even if the maximum number of logged connections for a machine type has not been reached.

Instance machine type	Maximum number of connections logged in a 5-second interval
f1-micro	100 connections
g1-small	250 connections
Machine types with 1–8 vCPUs	500 connections per vCPU
Machine types with more than 8 vCPUs	4,000 (500×8) connections

Effective limits for per-peering group quotas

Each per-peering group quota has the concept of an effective limit. This section describes how the quota's effective limit is calculated. The effective limit is always greater than or equal to the value of the per-peering group quota's limit.

Most per-peering group quotas have a corresponding network quota—for example, SUBNET_RANGES_PER_PEERING_GROUP and SUBNET_RANGES_PER_NETWORK. The effective limit calculation described in this section applies to all per-peering group quotas, even those that do not have a corresponding per-network quota.

A per-peering group quota's effective limit is calculated in the following way:

• Step 1. Select a VPC network. When VPC Network Peering is used, each network has its own peering group. A network's peering group consists of the VPC network itself and all other VPC networks that are directly connected to it through VPC Network Peering. Effective limit calculations are repeated for each per-peering group quota on a network by network basis.

• Step 2. For the selected VPC network, find the greater of these limits:

  • the limit for the per-peering group quota
  • the limit for the corresponding per-network quota

  If no corresponding per-network quota exists, use the per-peering group quota's limit.

• Step 3. Create a list consisting of the greater of these two limits in each peer network:

  • the limit for the per-peering group quota
  • the limit for the corresponding per-network quota

  If no corresponding per-network quota exists, use the per-peering group quota's limit.

• Step 4. Find the smallest value from the list created by Step 3.

• Step 5. Take the greater of the two values from Step 2 and Step 4. This number is the effective limit for the per-peering group quota from the perspective of the selected VPC network.

Effective limits example

Suppose that you have four VPC networks, network-a, network-b, network-c, and network-d. Because there are four VPC networks, there are also four peering groups, one from the perspective of each network.

Suppose the network peering connections are as follows:

• network-a is peered with network-b, and network-b is peered with network-a
• network-a is peered with network-c, and network-c is peered with network-a
• network-c is peered with network-d, and network-d is peered with network-c

Suppose the limits for two corresponding quotas are set as follows:

Network	Limit for INTERNAL_FORWARDING_RULES_PER_PEERING_GROUP	Limit for INTERNAL_FORWARDING_RULES_PER_NETWORK
network-a	500	600
network-b	350	300
network-c	300	300
network-d	400	300

The effective limits for each INTERNAL_FORWARDING_RULES_PER_PEERING_GROUP quota are as follows:

• Peering group for network-a—direct peers are network-b and network-c.

  1. In network-a: max(500,600) = 600
  2. List of maxima for direct peers:
     • network-b: max(350,300) = 350
     • network-c: max(300,300) = 300
  3. Minimum of the list of direct peers: min(350,300) = 300
  4. Effective limit for INTERNAL_FORWARDING_RULES_PER_PEERING_GROUP in network-a: max(600,300) = 600

• Peering group for network-b—one direct peer, network-a.

  1. In network-b: max(350,300) = 350
  2. List of maxima for direct peers:
     • network-a: max(500,600) = 600
  3. Minimum of the list of direct peers: min(600) = 600
  4. Effective limit for INTERNAL_FORWARDING_RULES_PER_PEERING_GROUP in network-b: max(350,600) = 600

• Peering group for network-c—direct peers are network-a and network-d.

  1. In network-c: max(300,300) = 300
  2. List of maxima for direct peers:
     • network-a: max(500,600) = 600
     • network-d: max(400,300) = 400
  3. Minimum of the list of direct peers: min(600,400) = 400
  4. Effective limit for INTERNAL_FORWARDING_RULES_PER_PEERING_GROUP in network-c: max(300,400) = 400

• Peering group for network-d—one direct peer, network-c.

  1. In network-d: max(400,300) = 400
  2. List of maxima for direct peers:
     • network-c: max(300,300) = 300
  3. Minimum of the list of direct peers: min(300) = 300
  4. Effective limit for INTERNAL_FORWARDING_RULES_PER_PEERING_GROUP in network-d: max(400,300) = 400

Manage quotas

Virtual Private Cloud enforces quotas on resource usage for various reasons. For example, quotas protect the community of Google Cloud users by preventing unforeseen spikes in usage. Quotas also help users who are exploring Google Cloud with the free tier to stay within their trial.

All projects start with the same quotas, which you can change by requesting additional quota. Some quotas might increase automatically based on your use of a product.

Permissions

To view quotas or request quota increases, Identity and Access Management (IAM) principals need one of the following roles.

Task	Required role
Check quotas for a project	One of the following: Project Owner (roles/owner) Project Editor (roles/editor) Quota Viewer (roles/servicemanagement.quotaViewer)
Modify quotas, request additional quota	One of the following: Project Owner (roles/owner) Project Editor (roles/editor) Quota Administrator (roles/servicemanagement.quotaAdmin) A custom role with the serviceusage.quotas.update permission

Check your quota

Console

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Quotas page.

   Go to Quotas

2. To search for the quota that you want to update, use the Filter table. If you don't know the name of the quota, use the links on this page instead.

gcloud

Using the Google Cloud CLI, run the following command to check your quotas. Replace PROJECT_ID with your own project ID.

    gcloud compute project-info describe --project PROJECT_ID

To check your used quota in a region, run the following command:

    gcloud compute regions describe example-region
    

Errors when exceeding your quota

If you exceed a quota with a gcloud command, gcloud outputs a quota exceeded error message and returns with the exit code 1.

If you exceed a quota with an API request, Google Cloud returns the following HTTP status code: 413 Request Entity Too Large.

Request additional quota

To adjust most quotas, use the Google Cloud console. For more information, see Request a quota adjustment.

Console

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Quotas page.

   Go to Quotas

2. On the Quotas page, select the quotas that you want to change.
3. At the top of the page, click Edit quotas.
4. For Name, enter your name.
5. Optional: For Phone, enter a phone number.
6. Submit your request. Quota requests take 24 to 48 hours to process.

Resource availability

Each quota represents a maximum number for a particular type of resource that you can create, if that resource is available. It's important to note that quotas don't guarantee resource availability. Even if you have available quota, you can't create a new resource if it is not available.

For example, you might have sufficient quota to create a new regional, external IP address in the us-central1 region. However, that is not possible if there are no available external IP addresses in that region. Zonal resource availability can also affect your ability to create a new resource.

Situations where resources are unavailable in an entire region are rare. However, resources within a zone can be depleted from time to time, typically without impact to the service level agreement (SLA) for the type of resource. For more information, review the relevant SLA for the resource.
