Google Developers Console project creation quota

Google Developers Console Project Creation Quota

When you create a new project in the Google Developers Console, you are subject to certain quotas that limit how many projects you can create. These quotas are designed to prevent abuse and ensure fair access to Google Cloud services.

Understanding the Quotas

Types of Quotas:

• Project Creation Quota: Limits the total number of projects you can create within a given timeframe.
• API Key Creation Quota: Limits the number of API keys you can generate per project.
• Service Account Creation Quota: Limits the number of service accounts you can create per project.

Default Quotas:

The default quota for project creation is usually 100 projects per month. However, this may vary depending on factors such as:

• Your account type (personal or organization)
• Your usage history
• The specific Google Cloud services you use

Checking Your Quotas

You can view your current quota limits for project creation and other services in the Google Developers Console:

1. Log in to your Google Cloud account.
2. Go to the “Quotas” page in the Google Developers Console. (Search for “Quotas” in the navigation bar).
3. Select the project you want to check the quotas for.
4. You will see a list of quotas for various services, including project creation.

Requesting Quota Increases

If you need to create more projects than your current quota allows, you can request an increase. To do this:

1. Navigate to the “Quotas” page in the Google Developers Console.
2. Select the “Quota Requests” tab.
3. Fill out the request form with your desired quota increase and a justification for the increase.
4. Submit the request.

Google will review your request and approve it if they deem it justified. You will receive an email notification with the outcome.

Example Code

Using the Google Cloud SDK

You can use the Google Cloud SDK to check your project creation quota:

gcloud services quotas list --service=compute.googleapis.com --project=YOUR_PROJECT_ID

Output (example):

NAME                         | METRIC                                       | USAGE       | LIMIT      |
---------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|--------------|-------------|
compute.googleapis.com/projects  | projects                                    | 5           | 100         |

Important Notes

• Deleted projects do not count towards your quota.
• The quota is a monthly limit. You are given a new quota at the beginning of each month.
• Overusing your quota can lead to account suspension.

Conclusion

Understanding and managing your project creation quota is important for effectively using Google Cloud services. By monitoring your quotas and requesting increases when needed, you can ensure that you have enough projects to support your needs.
