Alibaba Cloud sets default quotas on the cloud resources and API operations for each Alibaba Cloud account. This topic describes the quota items and their default values of Elastic IP Address (EIP), as well as whether the quotas are adjustable.
Quotas are set on a per-region or per-account basis. Quotas are categorized into the following types:
General quotas: the limits on cloud resources that are available to an Alibaba Cloud account.
API rate limits: the limits on API calls that an Alibaba Cloud account can make in a specific period of time. API rate limits are also known as QPS limits.
Privileges: the permissions to use advanced features. Privileges are granted by Alibaba Cloud to an account.
EIP is subject to general quotas and API rate limits. You can apply for increases on some of the quotas on the Quota Center page or Quota Management page.
This topic provides the default quota values for the service, and the actual default quota values may be different. The values in the Alibaba Cloud service console are the actual default quotas applied to your Alibaba Cloud account.
