What Happens When You Exceed the Bursting Limit

When you exceed your bursting limit, Oracle Cloud notifies you and suspends your account.

You’ll be notified by email and by an alert on the Infrastructure Classic Console or Applications Console. When your account is suspended, you won’t be able to create new service instances or create additional resources. Existing instances and resources will continue to run.

Note that the notification and account suspension will occur:

• If bursting is enabled for your non-metered subscription and you exceed the standard bursting limit of two times your subscription resources.

• If bursting is not enabled for your non-metered subscription and you exceed your predefined resource limits for your subscription.

When you receive notification that you exceeded the bursting limits, contact Oracle and purchase additional resources.

Note:

Between the time you exceeded the bursting limits and your account was suspended, there may be overages for the additional resources you used in that time period. However, if bursting is disabled, then overages are not billed.

To prevent reaching these limits, use the Resource Quotas page in Infrastructure Classic Console or Applications Console to view the overages and the quota limits for services that allow bursting.
