Manage project limits and quotas

Note

Only users with the Grafana Cloud Admin or the Performance Testing Admin roles can manage project limits and quotas.

When creating performance tests in Grafana Cloud k6, you have to define a few parameters, such as virtual users (VUs), and test duration. After a test is executed, you also have the number of virtual user hours (VUH) used by a test run. Each Grafana Cloud subscription has different limits for those parameters.

To help your team manage your account limits, and avoid having unexpected charges at the end of the billing cycle, you can set limits and quotas to individual projects.

Tests that exceed the monthly VUH quota or the per test VU/duration limit won’t start, and an error message is displayed when inspecting the test run.

The parameters you can set limits or quotas for are:

Limit or quotaDescription
Max VUH per monthMax amount of virtual user hours (VUH) used per one calendar month.
Max VUs per testMax number of concurrent virtual users (VUs) used in one test.
Max browser VUs per testMax number of concurrent browser virtual users (VUs) used in one test.
Max duration per testMax duration of a test (specified in hours (h), minutes (m), or seconds (s), and can be combined, for example “40m30s”).
