Instance quotas are allocated based on zones, instance types, billing methods, and network types. This topic describes the different types of instance quotas and how to view and increase instance quotas.
Background information
- When you query the total quota on August 16, the total amount displayed is the total quota that is dynamically adjusted based on the usage of the quota from August 2 to August 16, and the displayed usage amount is the number of instances created and running from August 2 to August 16.
- If the base quota remains constant and you have not applied to increase the total quota, the total quota remains unchanged when you query it on August 17. The displayed usage amount is the number of instances created and running from August 3 to August 17.
In addition, instance quotas can be classified into instance type-specific quotas and zone-specific vCPU-based total quotas for all instance types. You do not need to change the zone-specific vCPU-based total quota for all instance types. This value is always greater than the number of vCPUs that you require.

FAQ
Is the zone-specific vCPU-based total quota for all instance types useful? Which must I be more concerned about: the instance type-specific quota or the zone-specific vCPU-based total quota for all instance types?
