.. mc:: mc quota

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

   ``mc quota`` and its subcommands are deprecated.

Description
-----------

.. start-mc-quota-desc

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

.. end-mc-quota-desc

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 :ref:`object scanner <minio-lifecycle-management-scanner>` scans a bucket for pending :ref:`object lifecycle transitions <minio-lifecycle-management>`, it also checks if the bucket has exceeded a configured quota.

.. admonition:: Quota enforcement is not immediate
   :class: note

   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.
