MaxCompute:Manage quotas in the new MaxCompute console

View quotas

1. Log on to the MaxCompute console. In the top navigation bar, select a region.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Workspace > Quotas.

3. On the Quotas page, view the list of available quotas.

   The list displays the level-1 and level-2 subscription quotas and the default pay-as-you-go quota in the tree structure. By default, you can view the quota list by using an Alibaba Cloud account or as a RAM user.

   • Subscription quotas: Click the icon on the left of a level-1 quota to display its level-2 quotas and the effective configurations of the level-2 quotas. After you purchase subscription resources, the system automatically creates a level-1 quota and a level-2 quota named Default Subscription Quota.

   • Pay-as-you-go quotas: Click the icon on the left of a level-1 quota to display its level-2 quotas. After you activate the Pay-as-you-go Standard Edition, the system automatically creates and allocates a level-1 quota named Default Pay-as-you-go Quota_p and a level-2 quota named Default Pay-as-you-go Quota.

     Note

     For some pay-as-you-go MaxCompute services, the default name of a level-2 quota is aliyun_nick. In regions outside the Chinese mainland, the default level-1 quota name of the pay-as-you-go service may not be properly displayed. This issue does not affect the use of level-2 quotas that belong to the level-1 quota.

Configure quotas

1. Log on to the MaxCompute console. In the top navigation bar, select a region.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Workspace > Quotas.

3. On the Quotas page, find the level-1 quota that you want to configure and click Quota Configuration in the Actions column.

4. Add or delete a level-2 quota.

   1. On the Quota Templates tab of the Quota Configuration page, click Add Quota.

      To delete a level-2 quota, you can find the quota on the Quota Templates tab, and click Delete in the Actions column.

      Note

      After you delete a level-2 quota, the quota is deleted from all the quota plans. The configurations of minCU and Elastically Reserved CUs in the deleted quota are added to the default level-2 quota. To modify the configurations, you must modify and update the associated quota plan.

   2. In the Add Quota dialog box, click + Add Quota. Then, specify a quota name, and select a quota type.

      Enter a custom quota name. Select a quota type based on your business requirements.

      • Batch: Quotas of this type are used to run batch jobs.

      • Interactive: Quotas of this type are used to run MaxCompute Query Acceleration (MCQA) jobs. You do not need to configure this type of quota as the default quota for computing resources. If the default quota for computing resources of your project is the subscription quota for batch jobs, MCQA jobs are automatically scheduled to a quota of the Interactive type. If multiple quotas of the Interactive type are available, MCQA jobs are automatically scheduled to the first quota of this type that you create. In this case, you can configure quota rules to schedule MCQA jobs initiated by different projects to different quotas of the Interactive type. For more information about quota rules, see the "Quota rules" section in Use of computing resources.

   3. Click OK.

5. Configure a quota plan.

   After you create a quota, the quota is added to all the quota plans. The default value of minCU is 1 (deducted from the default level-2 subscription quota). You must change the number of CUs and attributes of the quota, and modify and update the quota plans.

   Note

   You can add a maximum of 48 quota plans. Each quota plan uses different configurations. This way, you can enable different quota plans for different time periods in a day.

   1. On the Quota Plans tab of the Quota Configuration page, click Add Plan.

   2. In the Create Quota Plan dialog box, configure the parameters. The following table describes the parameters.

      Parameter	Description
      Exclusive or Not	Specifies whether the quota is strongly exclusive. Even if CUs in an exclusive quota are idle, they are not used by other quota groups. This parameter is valid only for level-2 quotas. If the type of a level-2 quota is Interactive, the quota is automatically exclusive and cannot be changed. You can configure an exclusive quota for services such as business intelligence (BI) and ALGO because these services may always use CUs. If some CUs in a quota are idle, the idle CUs may be occupied by jobs that use another quota in which the value of maxCU is greater than the value of minCU. To prevent CUs in a quota from being occupied by jobs that use other quotas for a long period of time, you can configure an exclusive quota.
      Maximum Number of CUs for a Single Job	The upper limit for CUs that can be concurrently used by a job scheduled to the quota. If this parameter is left empty, no upper limit is imposed. If this parameter is set to 0, concurrent use of CUs is not allowed. You can enter a positive integer as the upper limit. If the type of a level-2 quota is Interactive, this parameter is not available by default. You can configure this parameter to prevent jobs from waiting for resource allocation if a single job occupies a large number of CUs for a long period of time. You can also specify the upper limit at the job level by adding the set odps.task.max.concurrent.cu=<Number of CUs>; command before the code that you want to execute. The job-level configuration takes precedence over the quota-level configuration.
      Enable Priority	Specifies whether to enable the priority feature. For more information, see Job priority. If the priority feature is enabled for a quota, the system preferentially runs the jobs that use the quota. You can also enable the priority feature at the project level. If the type of a level-2 quota is Interactive, this parameter is unavailable.
      Reserved CUs [minCU,maxCU]	The number of reserved CUs in a subscription quota. The number of reserved CUs in a level-1 quota is equal to the number of CUs in the subscription quota that you purchased. In a subscription quota, the value of minCU is the same as the value of maxCU. To increase or decrease the number of reserved CUs, you must use the upgrade or downgrade method. This parameter cannot be modified. Descriptions of minCU and maxCU in a level-2 quota MinCU specifies the lower limit, and maxCU specifies the upper limit. If the value of maxCU is greater than the value of minCU, CUs in level-2 quotas are shared among the jobs that use the level-2 quotas. If the number of CUs that are required is greater than the value of minCU in a level-2 quota and non-exclusive CUs in other quotas are idle, the non-exclusive CUs can be preempted. The total value of minCU in all the level-2 quotas is equal to the value of minCU in the level-1 quota. For a level-2 quota, the value of minCU must be less than or equal to the value of maxCU in the level-2 quota and less than or equal to the value of minCU in the level-1 quota that you purchased. Note You cannot set minCU to 0. The values of minCU and maxCU of the default level-2 quota cannot be changed. The value of minCU of the default level-2 quota is equal to the value of minCU of the level-1 quota subtracted by the total value of minCU of all the custom level-2 quotas. The value of maxCU of the default level-2 quota is the same as the value of maxCU of the level-1 quota.
      Elastically Reserved CUs	The number of elastically reserved CUs that you pre-purchase on a regular basis. The number of elastically reserved CUs in a level-1 quota is equal to the number of CUs that you pre-purchase. The default value is 0. The maximum value of this parameter is the minimum number of reserved CUs in a subscription quota. You must set this parameter to a value that is a multiple of 50. Descriptions of the number of elastically reserved CUs in a level-2 quota The total number of elastically reserved CUs in all the level-2 quotas is equal to the number of elastically reserved CUs in the level-1 quota. Elastically reserved CUs in the default level-2 quota cannot be changed. The number of elastically reserved CUs in the default level-2 quota is equal to the number of elastically reserved CUs in the level-1 quota subtracted by the total number of elastically reserved CUs in all the custom level-2 quotas.
      Non-reserved CUs	The number of non-reserved CUs in a subscription quota. The number of non-reserved CUs in a level-1 quota is equal to the number of non-reserved CUs in the subscription quota. To increase or decrease the number of non-reserved CUs, you must use the upgrade or downgrade method. You cannot increase the number of non-reserved CUs when resources are insufficient. This parameter cannot be modified. Descriptions of the number of non-reserved CUs in a level-2 quota The total number of non-reserved CUs in all the level-2 quotas is equal to the number of non-reserved CUs in the level-1 quota. Non-reserved CUs in the default level-2 quota cannot be modified. The number of non-reserved CUs in the default level-2 quota is equal to the number of non-reserved CUs in the level-1 quota subtracted by the total number of non-reserved CUs in all the custom level-2 quotas.

   3. Click OK.

   4. On the Quota Plans tab, find the quota plan that you added, and click Apply Immediately in the Actions column.

      The following content describes the operations related to quota plans:

      • View or modify a quota plan: On the Quota Plans tab, find the quota plan that you want to view or modify, and click Edit in the Actions column. You can modify and save the quota configurations in a quota plan. If the quota plan that you modify is in use, you must click Apply Immediately to make the latest configurations immediately take effect.

        Note

        You can click Apply Immediately to make any quota plan to immediately take effect. However, if scheduling settings are configured for a time plan associated with the quota plan, the quota plan does not immediately take effect, and the subsequently scheduled quota plan is enabled instead. If you want to manually make a quota plan take effect, you must delete the associated time plan. This way, the quota plan for which you click Apply Immediately can take effect as expected.

      • Delete a quota plan: On the Quota Plans tab, find the quota plan that you want to delete, and click Delete in the Actions column.

        Note

        The default quota plan and the effective quota plan cannot be deleted.

6. Configure a time plan.

   You can use the time plan feature to enable different quota plans for different time periods to implement the time-based logic for quota configurations.

   Note

   The time plan may have a latency of 3 minutes.

   1. On the Time Plans tab of the Quota Configuration page, click Edit Time Plan.

   2. In the Edit Time Plan dialog box, click + Add Quota and select the start time and the quota plan that you want to enable.

      • Time plans are considered as a whole. The default start time of a time plan is 00:00, which cannot be changed or deleted. The quota plan that corresponds to the time plan is the Default quota plan and can be modified. If no time periods are added, a quota plan is enabled for an entire day.

      • Different quota plans can be configured to enable at intervals of 30 minutes or 1 hour. Each quota plan can be repeatedly enabled.

   3. Click OK.
