mc quota

Note

Changed: RELEASE.2024-07-31T15-58-33Z

mc quota and its subcommands are deprecated.

Description

The mc quota commands configure, display, or remove a quota limit on a bucket.

When a bucket with a quota configured reaches the specified limit, as determined by the MinIO object scanner, MinIO rejects further PUT requests for the bucket.

Each time the MinIO object scanner scans a bucket for pending object lifecycle transitions, it also checks if the bucket has exceeded a configured quota.

Note

Quota enforcement is not immediate

Bucket quotas are not intended to enforce a strict hard limit on a bucket’s size. If a bucket exceeds its quota between scanner passes, MinIO continues to accept PUT requests for that bucket until after the next scanner pass identifies the quota violation.

Subcommands

mc quota includes the following subcommands:

Subcommand

clear
