ManagementQuotas
Owner inheritance
Understand how organisation, team, user, and API-key quotas combine.
Owner inheritance
All active matching quotas apply. A request must fit every quota in the principal chain.
| Owner type | Applies to | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
ORG | All matching organisation traffic. | Organisation request or token ceiling. |
TEAM | Traffic from team-scoped keys for the selected team. | Team usage envelope. |
USER | Traffic from user-scoped keys for the selected user. | Personal experimentation limit. |
APIKEY | Traffic from one virtual API key. | Application, environment, or customer limit. |
Example
A user-scoped key can be stopped by:
- an organisation daily requests quota,
- a user weekly token quota,
- an API-key daily errors quota.
