  • The quota varies based on the resource type. This indicates that the maximum number of tags that can be added to a single resource depends on the type of the resource. You need to go to the Quota Center console to check whether you can adjust the quota for a type of resource.

  • After you apply for a quota increase for a type of resource and the application is approved, the new quota takes effect within one hour.

  • If you want to increase the quota for ECS instances, we recommend that you apply for a quota increase for ECS disks and ECS elastic network interfaces (ENIs) when you apply for a quota increase for ECS instances. The disks and ENIs are created together with ECS instances.

You can configure quotas for a wide range of Alibaba Cloud services in Quota Center. For more information, see Services that work with Quota Center.
