Overview

Quotas allow you to set limits on resource consumption in your Datazone workspace. They help prevent unexpected usage, control costs, and ensure fair resource allocation across teams and projects.

​
How Quotas Work

When you create a quota for a resource type (DCU, Tokens, Storage, Query), Datazone monitors your usage and takes action based on consumption levels:

​
Usage Thresholds

Markdown Component Example
80% - Warning Notification When usage reaches 80% of the quota limit, you receive an email notification alerting you that you’re approaching the limit. 100% - Service Pause When usage exceeds the quota limit, your services are automatically paused to prevent further consumption. You’ll need to either increase the quota or reduce usage to resume operations.

​
Setting Up Quotas

Quotas are configured at the organization level and apply to all projects within that organization.
