Set usage quota by subscription

  • Стаття

APPLIES TO: All API Management tiers

The quota policy enforces a renewable or lifetime call volume and/or bandwidth quota, on a per subscription basis. When the quota is exceeded, the caller receives a 403 Forbidden response status code, and the response includes a Retry-After header whose value is the recommended retry interval in seconds.

To understand the difference between rate limits and quotas, see Rate limits and quotas.

Note

When underlying compute resources restart in the service platform, API Management may continue to handle requests for a short period after a quota is reached.

Note

Set the policy's elements and child elements in the order provided in the policy statement. Learn more about how to set or edit API Management policies.

Policy statement

<quota calls="number" bandwidth="kilobytes" renewal-period="seconds">
    <api name="API name" id="API id" calls="number">
        <operation name="operation name" id="operation id" calls="number" />
    </api>
</quota>

Attributes

Attribute Description Required Default
bandwidth The maximum total number of kilobytes allowed during the time interval specified in the renewal-period. Policy expressions aren't allowed. Either calls, bandwidth, or both together must be specified. N/A
calls The maximum total number of calls allowed during the time interval specified in the renewal-period. Policy expressions aren't allowed. Either calls, bandwidth, or both together must be specified. N/A
renewal-period The length in seconds of the fixed window after which the quota resets. The start of each period is calculated relative to the start time of the subscription. When renewal-period is set to 0, the period is set to infinite. Policy expressions aren't allowed. Yes N/A

Elements

Element Description Required
api Add one or more of these elements to impose call quota on APIs within the product. Product and API call quotas are applied independently. API can be referenced either via name or id. If both attributes are provided, id will be used and name will be ignored. No
operation Add one or more of these elements to impose call quota on operations within an API. Product, API, and operation call quotas are applied independently. Operation can be referenced either via name or id. If both attributes are provided, id will be used and name will be ignored. No

api attributes

Attribute Description Required Default
name The name of the API for which to apply the call quota limit. Either name or id must be specified. N/A
id The ID of the API for which to apply the call quota limit. Either name or id must be specified. N/A
bandwidth The maximum total number of kilobytes allowed during the time interval specified in the renewal-period. Policy expressions aren't allowed. Either calls, bandwidth, or both together must be specified. N/A
calls The maximum total number of calls allowed during the time interval specified in the renewal-period. Policy expressions aren't allowed. Either calls, bandwidth, or both together must be specified. N/A
renewal-period The length in seconds of the fixed window after which the quota resets. The start of each period is calculated relative to the start time of the subscription. When renewal-period is set to 0, the period is set to infinite. Policy expressions aren't allowed. Yes N/A

operation attributes

Attribute Description Required Default
name The name of the operation for which to apply the call quota limit. Either name or id must be specified. N/A
id The ID of the operation for which to apply the call quota limit. Either name or id must be specified. N/A
bandwidth The maximum total number of kilobytes allowed during the time interval specified in the renewal-period. Policy expressions aren't allowed. Either calls, bandwidth, or both together must be specified. N/A
calls The maximum total number of calls allowed during the time interval specified in the renewal-period. Policy expressions aren't allowed. Either calls, bandwidth, or both together must be specified. N/A

Usage

Usage notes

  • This policy can be used only once per policy definition.
  • This policy is only applied when an API is accessed using a subscription key.
