Due to the growth of your business, you may want to adjust the number of URLs or directories that can be refreshed, the number of URLs that can be prefetched, and the number of domain names that can be accelerated. If you want to adjust these quotas, you can log on to the Quota Center console and adjust the quotas based on your business requirements.

Quota Center provides the following features:

Usage notes

  • If you require a higher quota than the quota that is described in Limits, you can submit an application to request a quota increase. Alibaba Cloud reviews your application based on your business requirements. For more information, see Submit an application to increase a quota.
    • The system allocates quotas on the number of URLs or directories that can be refreshed and the number of URLs that can be prefetched on a daily basis. After the quota for the current day is exhausted, the quota for the next day is automatically allocated at 00:00:00 (UTC+8) on the next day.
    • The number of domain names that can be accelerated is a one-off allocation. If you want to increase the quota, you must submit an application in Quota Center.
