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/index.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.

## Get quota

### Command

This command returns the daily quota (GB) for the teamId being queried:

`cxctl account get-quota`

## Move quota

### Command

This command moves quota (GB) from one team to another:

`cxctl account move-quota`

You may use the [Alerts, Rules & Tags API key](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/account-management/api-keys/api-keys/index.md) for any of the teams between whom you are moving quotas.
