# Set global quotas

PUT http://localhost:6333/quotas
Content-Type: application/json

Replace the cluster-wide resource quota configuration. The new configuration is propagated to every peer through consensus and persisted, so it survives restarts

Reference: https://api.qdrant.tech/api-reference/quotas/update-quotas

## Authentication

- `api-key` header (required) — API Key authentication via header

## Servers

- `http://localhost:6333` (http, default)
- `https://localhost:6333` (https)

## Request

### Query parameters

- `wait` (boolean, optional, default: false) — If true, wait until the new configuration is confirmed by consensus on this peer. If false - the request returns as soon as the change is proposed.

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a QuotaConfig.

- `enabled` (boolean, optional, default: false) — Whether the limits below are enforced.
- `max_resident_memory_percent` (integer, optional, nullable) — Reject memory-consuming updates once process resident memory reaches this percentage of total system memory (or of the cgroup limit, if one applies).
- `max_disk_usage_percent` (integer, optional, nullable) — Reject disk-consuming updates once the filesystem hosting the storage directory is filled to this percentage of its capacity.
- `release_margin_percent` (integer, optional, nullable) — How many percentage points below its limit a resource has to fall before this node starts accepting work again. Without a margin, a resource resting on its limit crosses it in both directions on the noise between two readings, putting the node in and out of service each time — and restarting a shard recovery with it. Raise it where usage is volatile; `0` disables the margin and releases as soon as usage is back under the limit. Unset leaves the built-in default in force, so a config written today does not pin a number that a later release may want to revise.

## Response

### 200

successful operation

- `usage` (QuotasPutResponsesContentApplicationJsonSchemaUsage, optional)
- `time` (double, optional) — Time spent to process this request
