A service quota is the maximum number of cloud resources or operations that an Alibaba Cloud account can use. This topic describes the quotas, default values, and whether you can request a quota increase for Alibaba Cloud Global Accelerator (GA).
Alibaba Cloud service quotas are typically applied per account or per region. They are classified into the following types:
General quotas: The maximum number of cloud resources that an Alibaba Cloud account can use.
API rate limits: The frequency at which an Alibaba Cloud account can call Alibaba Cloud service API operations. This is also known as a queries per second (QPS) limit.
Privilege quotas: The permissions granted to an Alibaba Cloud account to use specific features. You can request privilege quotas to use Global Accelerator features that are not enabled by default.
Global Accelerator is subject to general quotas, API rate limits, and privilege quotas. You can adjust some of these quotas. To view or request a quota increase, log on to the Alibaba Cloud Quota Center console or the Global Accelerator console. For more information about how to manage Global Accelerator quotas, see Manage Global Accelerator quotas.
