Quotas and system limits

This document lists the quotas and system limits that apply to Service Usage.

  • Quotas have default values, but you can typically request adjustments.
  • System limits are fixed values that can't be changed.

Cloud de Confiance by S3NS uses quotas to help ensure fairness and reduce spikes in resource use and availability. A quota restricts how much of a Cloud de Confiance resource your Cloud de Confiance 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 Cloud de Confiance users by preventing the overloading of services. Quotas also help you to manage your own Cloud de Confiance resources.

The Cloud Quotas system does the following:

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 Cloud de Confiance project level. Your use of a resource in one project doesn't affect your available quota in another project. Within a Cloud de Confiance project, quotas are shared across all applications and IP addresses.

For more information, see the Cloud Quotas overview.

Rate quotas

Rate quotas restrict the rate at which you can consume a resource. Per-minute rate quotas reset every minute. The following table lists the rate quotas that apply to Service Usage and the default value for each quota.

Quota Value
List available/disabled services requests per minute 60
List enabled services requests per minute 600
List public services requests per minute 60
Default requests per minute

(all other read-only operations that don't modify the state of your project)

 600
Mutate requests per minute

(state-changing operations that actively change your project's configuration)

Get quota and system limit metric names

Quotas and system limits have two types of names: display names and metric names. Display names have spaces and capitalization that make them easier for humans to read. Metric names are more likely to be lowercase and delimited by underscores instead of spaces; the exact format depends on the service.

The following instructions show how to get metric names for quotas and system limits by using either the Cloud de Confiance console or the gcloud CLI.

Console

  1. In the Cloud de Confiance console, go to the IAM & Admin > Quotas & System Limits page:

    Go to Quotas & System Limits

    The table on this page displays quotas and system limits that have usage or have adjusted values, and a reference entry for other quotas. The reference entry has the word "default" in parentheses at the end of the listing in the Name column.

  2. If you don't see the Metric column, take the following steps.

    1. Click Column display options.
    2. Select Metric.
    3. Click OK. The Metric column appears in the table.

The Metric column shows the metric names. To filter the results, enter a property name or value in the field next to Filter—for example, Service Usage API.

gcloud

To get the metric names for a Cloud de Confiance by S3NS service by using the gcloud CLI, run the quotas info list command. To skip lines that don't list metric names, pass the output to a command such as grep with metric: as the search term, or use the gcloud CLI --format flag:

gcloud beta quotas info list --project=PROJECT_ID_OR_NUMBER \
    --service=serviceusage.googleapis.com --format="value(metric)"

Replace the PROJECT_ID_OR_NUMBER with your project ID or project number.

If you receive an an error message about no quota project being set, see User credentials not working.

Request a quota adjustment

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