Quotas provide limits for accounts and resource groups. This documentation discusses quotas for resource groups. Quotas are also different for {{site.data.keyword.vpc_full}}. For more information, see Quotas and service limits.
Quotas for resource groups limit the number of apps, instances, and memory allowed for that specific resource group. Each resource group in your account has a specific set of quotas. Standard quotas are for resource groups that are created by users with a Lite account, and Pay-As-You-Go quotas are for resource groups that are created with a Pay-As-You-Go account.
The following table shows resource group quota limits.
| Type | Max apps | Max instances per app | Max app instances memory | Total app memory | Max service instances |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pay-as-you-go quota | 100 | 32 | 512G | 512G | 30,000 |
| Standard quota | 4 | 2 | 1G | 1G | 1,000 |

If you're not sure what your resource group quotas are, you can check by using the {{site.data.keyword.Bluemix_notm}} CLI. The CLI is the only way to check your account's resource group quotas. Before you can check your quotas, you need the {{site.data.keyword.Bluemix_notm}} CLI installed.
To check your quotas, type the following command into the CLI:
ibmcloud resource quotas
{: codeblock}
For more information about using the CLI to check your quotas, see ibmcloud resource quotas.
