Viewing a Tenancy's Limits and Usage

View limits and usage for a tenancy in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

You can view a tenancy's limits and usage (by region) in the Console. Be aware that:

  • The Console might not display limits and usage information for all the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services or resources.
  • The usage level listed for a particular resource type could be greater than the limit if the limit was reduced after the resources were created.
  • If all the resource limits are listed as 0, this means your account has been suspended. For help, contact Oracle Support.

If you don't yet have a tenancy or a user account for the Console, or if you don't find a particular limit listed in the Console, see Limits by Service for the default tenancy limits.

Note

The Console might not display limits information for all Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services or resources.

Using the Console

Open the navigation menu  and select Governance & Administration. Under Tenancy Management, select Limits, Quotas and Usage.

Your resource limits and usage for the specific region are displayed, divided by service. You can use the filters to filter by Service, Scope, Resource, Subscription, and Compartment.

Note

The Subscription field is only selectable for certain combinations of service and scope. For example, when selecting the Database service and a particular Scope, a <subscription_ID>-<subscription_name> subscription can be selected, and the Limits, Quotas and Usage page reloads to display the limits specific to the associated subscription.

To view deprecated limits, select Show deprecated limits.

Limits are listed with the following information:

  • Description
  • Limit Name
  • Service Limit: The limit total.
  • Usage: How much of the limit resource has been used.
  • Available: The limit remainder (Service Limit value minus Usage value).

For each limit, from the Actions menu (three dots) you can quickly create a quota policy stub for any resource, or open a support request.

Using the API

For information about using the API and signing requests, see REST API documentation and Security Credentials. For information about SDKs, see SDKs and the CLI.

For more information on managing limits, see the Service Limits API.

Fractional Usage and Availability

Some resources can have fractional usage and availability, and the Service Limits API reflects this accordingly. If the resource is a fractional one, usage reflects the rounded up value of the fractional usage, and for availability, the rounded down value of the fractional availability. As a result, these fractional availability and usage attributes help indicate the most accurate usage and availability.

For example, if a resource has 2.4 used, 4.6 available, the following API response is returned:

{
    used: 3,
    fractionalUsed: 2.4,
    available: 4.6,
    fractionalAvailable: 4
}

For more information, see the available and used attributes in the ResourceAvailability Reference.
