This document lists the Compute Engine rate quotas, which define the number of requests you can make to Compute Engine API methods.

Rate quotas

Rate quotas (also known as API rate limits or API quotas) define the number of requests that can be made to the Compute Engine API. These quotas apply on a per-project basis. Each quota applies to a group of one or more Compute Engine API methods. When you use the gcloud CLI or the Google Cloud console, you are also making requests to the API and these requests count towards your rate quota. If you use service accounts to access the API, that also counts towards your rate quota.

Google enforces rate quotas at a per-minute (60 seconds) interval for each group. That means if your project reaches the maximum number of API requests anytime within 60 seconds, you must wait for that rate quota to refill before making more requests in that group. If your project exceeds a rate quota, you receive a 403 error with the reason rateLimitExceeded. To resolve this error, wait a minute then try your request again—the quota should be refilled at the start of the next interval.

The number of requests that you can make to the Compute Engine API is defined by API quotas as described in the following tables. Each group is counted separately, so you can achieve the maximum quota in each group simultaneously.

Rate quotas for global methods

The following sections list the quotas that define the number of requests you can make to the global Compute Engine API methods.

Simplified API quotas for global methods

To improve the discoverability and manageability of Compute Engine API quota, Google Cloud has reduced the number of quota metrics by consolidating metrics into fewer quotas. These simplified quota metrics also offer higher limits for each quota.

To view a complete list of global methods and the quota metrics that track the cost of each method, see Compute Engine API quota metrics reference.

The following table lists all simplified API quota metrics for Compute Engine API:

Quota
Quota description Metric name Read requests per minute (GlobalReadsPerMinutePerProject)
Quota for global get and list methods. compute.googleapis.com/global_reads Write requests per minute (GlobalWritesPerMinutePerProject)
Quota for global write methods that are not included under other quota metrics. compute.googleapis.com/global_writes List usable requests per minute (GlobalListUsablePerMinutePerProject)
Quota for global ListUsable methods. compute.googleapis.com/list_usable_requests Cache invalidation requests per minute (GlobalCacheInvalidationRequestsPerMinutePerProject)
Quota for global UrlMapsService.InvalidateCache methods. compute.googleapis.com/global_cache_invalidation_requests Filtered list cost overhead (ListRequestsFilterCostOverheadPerMinutePerProject)

Quota for *.list and *.aggregatedList global methods with filters.

Google Cloud charges quota usage for this metric in addition to the quotas against the compute.googleapis.com/global_reads metric. You incur quota charges if there are more than 10k resources filtered out of the list requests. Compute Engine API rejects the list requests if you exceed this quota limit.

compute.googleapis.com/filtered_list_cost_overhead
Rate per project: 750k resources filtered out of the list requests per region per minute. As the quota is charged for every 10k resources, you see the limit as 75 (750k/10k) when you query for this quota limit on the Google Cloud console. Note: You cannot request a higher limit for this quota. To avoid quota issues, optimize your list request filters or use list filters on the client side. Requests per minute (GlobalRequestsPerMinutePerProject)

Quota for all global read and write requests.

compute.googleapis.com/global_requests
Note: You cannot request a higher limit for this quota. Legacy API quotas for global methods

The following table lists all Compute Engine API quotas for global methods.

Note: The following global metrics continue to exist, but we recommend that you use the simplified API quota metrics to set alerts and to track API usage on your Cloud Monitoring dashboards. Quota
Quota description Metric name Queries per minute (defaultPerMinutePerProject)
Quota for global list and mutation methods that are not included under other quota metrics.

The following get methods also use this default metric:

networkFirewallPolicies.get

Quota for *.aggregatedList methods. compute.googleapis.com/heavy_weight_read_requests

The following quotas apply to global APIs with per method quotas:

Quota description Metric name Default limit License insert requests
Quotas for licenses.insert method. compute.googleapis.com/license_insert_requests

Quota per project (LicenseInsertRequestsPerMinutePerProject): 2.5 requests/second (150 requests/minute)

Project set common instance metadata requests
Quota for projects.setCommonInstanceMetadata method. compute.googleapis.com/project_set_common_instance_metadata_requests Quota per project (ProjectSetCommonInstanceMetadataRequestsPerMinutePerProject): 36 requests/minute Rate quotas for regional and zonal methods

The following sections list all quotas that apply to methods that use regional metrics.

Simplified API quotas for regional and zonal methods

The following table lists all simplified quotas for Compute Engine API regional and zonal methods. To view a complete list of regional and zonal methods, and the quota metrics that track the usage of each method, see Compute Engine API quota metrics reference.

Quota
Quota description Metric name Read requests per minute per region (ReadRequestsPerMinutePerProjectPerRegion)
Quota for regional and zonal `get` and `list` methods. compute.googleapis.com/reads_per_region Write requests per region (WritesPerMinutePerProjectPerRegion)

Quota for regional and zonal ListUsable methods. compute.googleapis.com/list_usable_requests_per_region Filtered list cost overhead per region

Quota for *.list and *.aggregatedList regional and zonal methods with filters.

Google Cloud charges quota usage for this metric in addition to the quotas against the compute.googleapis.com/reads_per_region metric. You incur quota charges if there are more than 10k resources filtered out of the list requests. Compute Engine API rejects the list requests if you exceed this quota limit.
