A quota refers to the maximum number of resources that an Alibaba Cloud account can use or the maximum number of operations that an Alibaba Cloud account can perform on a resource. Quota Center allows you to query the quotas and quota usage of Microservices Engine (MSE) resources, apply for quotas online, or create quota alert rules based on your business requirements. This topic describes how to manage MSE resource quotas.

Modify MSE resource quotas
If your business requires MSE resources whose amounts exceed the default quota value and the resource quota is adjustable in Quota Center, you can perform the following steps to view the quota and apply for a quota increase:
Log on to the Quota Center console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Products > General Quotas. On the Products with General Quotas page, select Application Service from the Category drop-down list and click the mse-governance or mse-registry card.
On the General Quotas page, view or increase resource quotas.
View resource quotas. On the General Quotas page, the values in the Total Quotas column indicate the maximum number of resources and the values in the In Use column indicate the usage of quotas.
Apply for a quota increase. Click Apply in the Actions column. In the Apply for Quotas dialog box, configure the parameters and click OK.
NoteIt takes time to make quota adjustment of a Nacos instance take effect. You must adjust the quota when the instance is in the running state.
When you upgrade or downgrade the instance configuration or change the instance type, pay attention to the corresponding quota value and adjust it in a timely manner.
If the quota you want to configure is not in the valid range of the quota item, you can submit a ticket to apply for the quota.
The quota for the configurations of the Nacos instances that you created is set to an optimal value based on your resource usage to ensure stability. If you want to increase the quota, you can apply for the quota in the Quota Center console or by submitting a ticket. Resources on new instances are limited based on the configured quota.

You can create alert rules for a quota item. If the usage of a quota reaches the specified threshold, the system sends an alert notification to you. In this case, you can submit an application to request a quota increase in advance. For more information, see Quota Alerts.
After you request a quota increase, you can query the application and view the application details. You can also view the application results. For more information, see Query applications and view application details.
