PrivateLink:Quotas and limits

Last Updated:Jan 12, 2026

A service quota is the maximum number of cloud resources or operations that an Alibaba Cloud account can use. This topic describes the names, default values, and adjustability of PrivateLink quotas. It also describes the limits on IP versions, protocols, and backend service resource types for PrivateLink.

Service quotas

Alibaba Cloud service quotas apply at the account or region level and are divided into the following three 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 the APIs of an Alibaba Cloud service. This is also known as a queries per second (QPS) limit.

  • Privilege quotas: The permissions granted to an Alibaba Cloud account, such as the permission to use specific features.

PrivateLink provides general quotas, API rate limits, and privilege quotas, some of which can be adjusted. You can log on to the Alibaba Cloud Quota Center console or the VPC console to view quotas or request a quota increase.
