Limits

Every organization has limits on the number of resources it can have. They protect the platform against abuse and runaway scripts. New organizations start with these limits:

Limits count everything in the organization, across all its projects. The console shows your current limits and use under Billing.

When a limit is reached, creating another resource of that kind fails with 403 limit_exceeded. The error details say which limit (resource, e.g. servers) and its value (limit):

{
  "error": {
    "code": "limit_exceeded",
    "message": "Your account can have up to 5 servers. Open a support ticket to raise the limit.",
    "details": { "resource": "servers", "limit": 5, "used": 5, "requested": 1 }
  }
}

The storage limits (volumes_gb, snapshots_gb) count gigabytes: creating or growing a volume needs its new size to fit, and taking a snapshot reserves the server's disk size until the snapshot's real size is known. For them, used and requested are in GB.

To raise a limit, open a support ticket in the console with the category Limit increase and tell us what you need and what for.

Other limits that apply to single resources:
