Usage notes
The quota management feature is supported in the China (Beijing), China (Shanghai), China (Shenzhen), and Singapore regions.
If your business requires a quota higher than the value that is described in the Limits topic, you must submit an application. Alibaba Cloud reviews your application and increases the quota based on your business requirements. For more information, see Submit an application to increase a quota.
You can log on to the Quota Center console by using an Alibaba Cloud account or as a RAM user. If you log on as a RAM user, you must obtain the required permissions. For more information, see Authorize a RAM user.
The original stream quota indicates the maximum number of streams that can be concurrently ingested or pulled, and the transcoding stream quota indicates the maximum number of streams that can be concurrently transcoded. If you estimate that your business will exceed the quotas, submit an application and provide detailed information, including the use cases, estimates of future business requirements, and desired effective date for the new quotas.
If the ratio of the inbound bandwidth for stream ingest to the outbound bandwidth for streaming exceeds 1:50, your account manager notifies you of the applicable charges. If you do not receive a notification, no fees are charged.
When you apply for a higher transcoding stream quota, make sure that you configured the transcoding templates in the ApsaraVideo Live console. You can also provide the transcoding details, such as resolution and quality, in the application.
If the quota that you request exceeds the upper limit that is displayed in the Quota Center console, contact your account manager or Alibaba Cloud support.
