    Last Updated:Sep 16, 2026

    You can manage Express Connect quotas by viewing their usage, requesting increases, and setting usage alerts. This topic describes how to increase quotas and create quota templates.

    Background information

    Alibaba Cloud Quota Center is a service provided by Alibaba Cloud for centrally managing the quotas of Alibaba Cloud services. Currently, Quota Center has integrated multiple Alibaba Cloud services, including Express Connect. If you are using multiple Alibaba Cloud services and want to manage the quotas of all cloud services in a unified interface, we recommend that you use Quota Center console for unified management.

    Permissions

    By default, only Alibaba Cloud accounts can manage quotas in Quota Center. To allow a RAM user to perform quota management operations, grant the RAM user the AliyunQuotasFullAccess permission.

    View quotas

    1. Log on to the Express Connect console.

    2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Quota Management.

    3. On the Quota Management page, select a quota type to view its details.

      • View general quotas

        1. In the Quota Category area, click the General Quotas tab.

        2. Filter the list by keyword to view the name, description, and usage of a specific general quota.

      • View API rate limits

        1. In the Quota Category area, click the API Rate Limits tab.

        2. Filter the list by keyword or region to view the version and quota value of a specific API rate limit.

      • View whitelist quotas

        1. In the Quota Type area, click the Whitelist Quota tab.

        2. Filter the list by keyword to view the name, description, and default value of a specific whitelist quota.

    Increase quotas

    • Some quotas support self-service increases. You can go to the Quota Management page and click Apply in the Actions column of the target quota to increase it. Quota increase requests are approved by the technical support of each cloud product. To increase the approval probability, provide a reasonable requested value and a detailed reason when you submit the quota request. Quota approval generally takes no more than 1 minute.

    • If your organization uses Resource Directory to manage multiple accounts, you can use quota templates to submit requests in batches. For more information, see Quota Templates.

    • If a RAM user performs this operation, ensure they have the required AliyunQuotasFullAccess permission. For details, see System policies for Quotas.
