Quota Management
Quotas limit what can be created or done in Cloudalus. Some apply to your organisation, others to your user account. This page covers the defaults and what to do if you hit one.
What happens when you hit a quota
Your request fails with a quota error explaining which limit was reached. In most cases you can jump straight to the relevant quota in your dashboard to see what's happening.
Common triggers include reaching your database limit, creating databases too quickly, filling your organisation's member slots, or sending too many API requests in a short window.

Where to see current usage
Sign in and open Organisation / Quotas in your dashboard to see organisation-scoped limits alongside current usage. Per-user limits, such as the API request rate, apply to your account rather than your organisation and are not shown there.
If you've hit a quota error, start there. You can see at a glance whether you need to wait, free up resources, or request an increase.
