ApsaraMQ for Kafka:How many consumer groups can I create on an ApsaraMQ for Kafka instance?

Last Updated:Mar 11, 2026

By default, the consumer group limit for an ApsaraMQ for Kafka instance equals twice the partition count. For example, an instance with 1,000 partitions supports up to 2,000 consumer groups.

Consumer groups per instance2 x partition count
Additional consumer groups per partition upgrade2

Increase the limit

To create more consumer groups, upgrade your instance specification. Each additional partition adds two consumer groups to your quota.
