    Internet Shared Bandwidth:Manage Internet Shared Bandwidth quotas

    Last Updated:May 09, 2026

    Quota management includes viewing quotas and usage, requesting quota increases, and setting quota usage alerts. This topic describes how to request quota increases and create quota templates for Internet Shared Bandwidth.

    Background

    Alibaba Cloud Quota Center is a centralized service for managing quotas for Alibaba Cloud services. Quota Center integrates with multiple Alibaba Cloud services, including Internet Shared Bandwidth. If you use multiple Alibaba Cloud services and want to manage all service quotas from a single console, use Quota Center.

    In addition to Quota Center, the VPC console also lets you manage quotas. If you do not need to manage quotas for multiple cloud services centrally, you can manage them directly on the Quota Management page in the VPC console.

    Prerequisites

    By default, only the Alibaba Cloud account is authorized to manage quotas in Quota Center. If you want to allow Resource Access Management (RAM) users to manage quotas, you must first grant the RAM user the AliyunQuotasFullAccess permission. For more information, see Authorize a RAM user.

    View quotas

    1. Log on to the Quota Center console.

    2. Follow the steps for the type of quota you want to view.

      • To view general quotas:

        1. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Products > General Quotas.

        2. On the Products with General Quotas page, find and click Internet Shared Bandwidth.

        3. On the General Quotas page, you can view each general quota's name, description, and usage.

        2. On the Products with API Rate Limits page, find and click Internet Shared Bandwidth.

        3. On the API Rate Limits page, you can filter the list by criteria such as region and keyword to view details about the target API rate limit, such as its version and quota value.

    Increase quotas

    1. Log on to the Quota Center console.

    2. Follow the steps for the type of quota you want to increase.

      • To request a general quota increase:

        1. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Products > General Quotas.

        2. On the Products with General Quotas page, find and click Internet Shared Bandwidth.

        3. On the General Quotas page, find the target quota and click Apply in the Actions column.

        4. In the Apply for Quotas dialog box, set Applied Quotas and Reason, and then click OK.

          Note

          • Quota increase requests are reviewed by the technical support team of the corresponding cloud service. To improve the chances of approval, specify a reasonable quota value and a detailed reason in your application.

          • Alibaba Cloud evaluates your request based on the information you provide and then approves or denies it. You will be notified of the result by SMS and email.

        5. In the left-side navigation pane, click Application Records to view the review status of your request.

          If the status of the request is Approved, your quota has been increased.

      • To request an API rate limit increase:

        1. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Products > API Rate Limits.

        2. On the Products with API Rate Limits page, find and click Internet Shared Bandwidth.

        3. On the API Rate Limits page, filter the list by criteria such as region and keyword to find the target API rate limit, and then click Apply in the Actions column.

        4. In the Apply for API Rate Limit dialog box, set Applied Quotas, Reason, and Notify Result, and then click OK.

          Note

          • Applications are approved by the technical support team of the corresponding cloud service. When you apply for a quota increase, provide as much information as possible.

          • The more justification provided, the more likely your application will be approved. Application results are sent to you by using text messages and emails.

        5. In the Actions column, click Application Records to view the review status of your request.

          If the status of the request is Approved, your quota has been increased.

    Create quota templates

    After you create a quota template, the quota template is enabled by default. If the management account adds a member to the resource directory, the quota template automatically submits a quota increase request for the member. The quotas for existing members remain unchanged. You can use a quota template to apply for increases on multiple quotas at a time. This automated approach can improve the efficiency of quota management across your organization.

    Before you create a quota template, log in with an enterprise management account, enable a resource directory, and enable the quota template feature.

    1. Log on to the Quota Center console.

    2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Quota Templates. On the Quota Templates page, click Enable Quota Template.

    3. In the Enable Quota Template dialog box, click OK.

    4. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Products > General Quotas.

    5. On the Products with General Quotas page, find and click Internet Shared Bandwidth.

    6. On the General Quotas page, find the quota you want to add to the template and click Create Quota Template in the Actions column.

    7. In the Create Quota Template dialog box, set the Applied Quotas value for the quota, and then click OK.
