QuotaFailure

Describes how a quota check failed.

For example if a daily limit was exceeded for the calling project, a service could respond with a QuotaFailure detail containing the project id and the description of the quota limit that was exceeded. If the calling project hasn't enabled the service in the developer console, then a service could respond with the project id and set service_disabled to true.

Also see RetryInfo and Help types for other details about handling a quota failure.

object (Violation)

Describes all quota violations.

Violation

A message type used to describe a single quota violation. For example, a daily quota or a custom quota that was exceeded.

JSON representation
{
  "subject": string,
  "description": string,
  "apiService": string,
  "quotaMetric": string,
  "quotaId": string,
  "quotaDimensions": {
    string: string,
    ...
  },
  "quotaValue": string,
  "futureQuotaValue": string
}
Fields
subject

string

The subject on which the quota check failed. For example, "clientip:" or "project:".

description

string

A description of how the quota check failed. Clients can use this description to find more about the quota configuration in the service's public documentation, or find the relevant quota limit to adjust through developer console.

For example: "Service disabled" or "Daily Limit for read operations exceeded".

apiService

string

The API Service from which the QuotaFailure.Violation orginates. In some cases, Quota issues originate from an API Service other than the one that was called. In other words, a dependency of the called API Service could be the cause of the QuotaFailure, and this field would have the dependency API service name.

For example, if the called API is Kubernetes Engine API (container.googleapis.com), and a quota violation occurs in the Kubernetes Engine API itself, this field would be "container.googleapis.com". On the other hand, if the quota violation occurs when the Kubernetes Engine API creates VMs in the Compute Engine API (compute.googleapis.com), this field would be "compute.googleapis.com".

quotaMetric

string

The metric of the violated quota. A quota metric is a named counter to measure usage, such as API requests or CPUs. When an activity occurs in a service, such as Virtual Machine allocation, one or more quota metrics may be affected.

For example, "compute.googleapis.com/cpus_per_vm_family", "storage.googleapis.com/internet_egress_bandwidth".

quotaId

string

The id of the violated quota. Also know as "limit name", this is the unique identifier of a quota in the context of an API service.

For example, "CPUS-PER-VM-FAMILY-per-project-region".

quotaDimensions

map (key: string, value: string)

The dimensions of the violated quota. Every non-global quota is enforced on a set of dimensions. While quota metric defines what to count, the dimensions specify for what aspects the counter should be increased.

For example, the quota "CPUs per region per VM family" enforces a limit on the metric "compute.googleapis.com/cpus_per_vm_family" on dimensions "region" and "vm_family". And if the violation occurred in region "us-central1" and for VM family "n1", the quotaDimensions would be,

{ "region": "us-central1", "vm_family": "n1", }

When a quota is enforced globally, the quotaDimensions would always be empty.

An object containing a list of "key": value pairs. Example: { "name": "wrench", "mass": "1.3kg", "count": "3" }.

quotaValue

string (int64 format)

The enforced quota value at the time of the QuotaFailure.

For example, if the enforced quota value at the time of the QuotaFailure on the number of CPUs is "10", then the value of this field would reflect this quantity.

futureQuotaValue

string (int64 format)

The new quota value being rolled out at the time of the violation. At the completion of the rollout, this value will be enforced in place of quotaValue. If no rollout is in progress at the time of the violation, this field is not set.

For example, if at the time of the violation a rollout is in progress changing the number of CPUs quota from 10 to 20, 20 would be the value of this field.
