# Quota management

Manage team quotas in your Coralogix account using the following tutorial.

## Overview

The quota management API allows team administrators to **view** and **distribute** quotas across teams they manage. Allocate and move quotas across teams for any period to:

* Contend with unexpected spikes in logs shipping to one team

* Better handle resources when a team is underutilizing its quota

* Meet new or changing capacity requirements of your teams 

* [Save on cost](https://coralogix.com/pricing/) by more efficiently using quotas

## Prerequisites

* The latest version of the [Coralogix CLI](https://coralogix.com/tutorials/coralogix-cli/)

* Teams API key (Access this in **Account settings** > API Access)

* Team ID (Access this in **Account settings** > Send Your Logs)

* [Team administrator (admin) role](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/account-management/user-management/teams.md) granted to the person moving quotas between teams (He / she must be team admin in both the team receiving and giving the quota)

## Limitations & constraints

* The minimum quota that can be transferred is 0.001 GB.

* A quota cannot be moved to a [trial account](https://signup.coralogix.com/#/).

* Quotas can only be moved between teams with the **same retention** period.

* Moving quotas between teams in different regions is impossible.

* Quotas cannot be transferred **from** a team if the remaining daily quota is **less** **than** the quota being moved. In this case, transfer will be possible once the daily quota resets at 00:00 UTC

* You need to be admin on the teams you are trying to move quota between.

* Quota allocations will take a maximum of 15 minutes to take effect.
