Use this data to better understand current quota and Compute Engine usage
and plan for future needs.
Required roles
To get the permissions that
you need to view quotas, system limits, and Compute Engine resource usage,
ask your administrator to grant you the
Cloud Hub Operator (roles/cloudhub.operator)
IAM role on project.
For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.
For requirements and permissions to create future reservation requests, see
the documentation for creating future reservations.
View quotas and system limits
Quotas restrict how much of a Google Cloud resource your
Google Cloud project can use. You can request an increase or decrease to your quota.
System limits are fixed constraints and aren't adjustable.
You can view the following information for a selected project:
Quotas and system limits that are over 90% used.
Pending quota increase requests.
To view quota information:
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Quotas and Reservations board,
In the project selector, select the project that you want to view.
The page displays the following information information for the selected
project:
Quotas & System Limits at risk: displays quotas and system
limits that are over 90% used.
To view more information about a quota or system limit, click its name.
To view all quotas with usage over 90%, click View all at risk.
If you click one of the links, then the Quotas & System Limits page displays
the quota details. If you have the necessary permissions, then you can
request a quota adjustment.
Quotas & System Limits summary: displays additional information about
quotas.
All quotas and system limits: displays the total number of
quotas and system limits. To view a list of quotas and system limits for
the selected project, click View.
Pending increase requests: displays the total number of pending
quota increase requests. To view pending requests for the selected project,
click View requests.
Quota adjuster status: displays whether the
quota adjuster is enabled or disabled. The quota adjuster
is only available for projects with enough historical activity to support
accurate predictions for submitting proactive quota adjustment requests on
your behalf. To view or change the setting, click View.
For more information about viewing and managing quotas on the Quotas & System
Limits page, see View and manage quotas.
View usage and forecast data
You can view the usage and forecast data of the following Compute Engine
resources:
Compute Engine instances, including vCPUs, RAM, and Local SSD disks
attached to the instances.
Persistent Disk volumes, whether they're attached to instances or not.
GPUs, whether they're attached to instances or not.
To plan for future usage, you can explore additional details in
Capacity Planner and request future reservations to reserve
capacity in advance.
To view usage and forecast data:
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Quotas and Reservations board,
In the project selector, select the project that you want to view.
In the Usage and Forecast section, use the selectors to choose the data
that you want to view.
Resource type: Select the resource type you want to view.
Resource name: If you selected vCPU, RAM, or Local SSD
as the resource type, select a machine family. To view all
machine families, select ALL.
Location: Select a region or zone that you want to view.
The Usage and Forecast graph displays usage, forecast data for the next
six months, reservations (if any), and quota for the selected resource type
and location.
Quota data only appears on the graph if you selected resource and location
options that have an associated quota.
The Usage line shows the history of daily usage aggregated at the 99th
percentile. Historical usage data is updated every 24 hours.
The Forecast line shows an estimate of future usage based on
historical usage patterns. It is an upper bound of P50 prediction interval.
You can view historically reserved capacity for your instances from
August 1, 2024.
To change the time range that the graph displays, use one of the following
options:
Expand a specific time interval: drag to select the time range that
you want to magnify.
Pan: press Control or Command, and then drag horizontally
to shift the time range.
Zoom: press Control or Command, and then scroll to zoom in or
zoom out.
To explore the selected data further in Capacity Planner,
click Plan capacity. Capacity Planner provides detailed
views on usage, forecast, and reservations. It also lets you create
future reservations based on historical usage and forecast data at the
machine type level. Learn more about
requesting future capacity.
Capacity Planner displays data for resources you selected
on the Quotas & reservations board. To learn about using the graphs in
Capacity Planner, see View usage and forecast data in
Capacity Planner.
View reservations
You can view current usage for Compute Engine reservations. Comparing
current usage with historical or forecast usage can help you better plan for
future capacity needs.
To view reservation usage:
In the Google Cloud console, go to the Quotas and Reservations board,
