# Manage project limits and quotas

> Note
> 
> Only users with the [Grafana Cloud Admin](/docs/grafana-cloud/account-management/authentication-and-permissions/cloud-roles/) or the [Performance Testing Admin](/docs/grafana-cloud/testing/k6/projects-and-users/configure-rbac/) roles can manage project limits and quotas.

When creating performance tests in Grafana Cloud k6, you have to define a few parameters, such as virtual users (VUs), and test duration. After a test is executed, you also have the number of virtual user hours (VUH) used by a test run. Each Grafana Cloud subscription has different limits for those parameters.

To review the subscription limits and current usage for your whole stack, refer to [View stack limits](/docs/grafana-cloud/testing/k6/projects-and-users/stack-limits/).

To help your team manage your account limits, and avoid having unexpected charges at the end of the billing cycle, you can set limits and quotas to individual projects.

> Tip
> 
> Use the [Grafana Cloud k6 calculator](/docs/grafana-cloud/platform/pricing-and-usage/performance-testing/calculator/) to estimate VUH consumption for different test configurations. This helps you determine appropriate quota values when setting project limits.

Tests that exceed the monthly VUH quota or the per test VU/duration limit won’t start, and an error message is displayed when inspecting the test run.

The parameters you can set limits or quotas for are:

| Limit or quota               | Description                                                                                                              |

| **Max VUH per month**        | Max amount of virtual user hours (VUH) used per one calendar month.                                                      |
| **Max VUs per test**         | Max number of concurrent virtual users (VUs) used in one test.                                                           |
| **Max browser VUs per test** | Max number of concurrent *browser* virtual users (VUs) used in one test.                                                 |
| **Max duration per test**    | Max duration of a test (specified in hours (h), minutes (m), or seconds (s), and can be combined, for example “40m30s”). |

## Edit project limits and quotas

There are a few different ways to edit project limits and quotas.

> Note
> 
> You can leave a field empty to remove the limit or quota for that parameter.

### Create new project

To edit the limits and quotas when creating a new project:

1. Log in to your Grafana Cloud account.
2. Go to **Testing & synthetics > Performance > Projects**.
3. Click on **Create new project**.
4. A dialog box opens, and you can edit the limits and quotas for the project. After you’re done, select **Create new project**.

### Project settings

To edit limits and quotas via project settings:

1. Log in to your Grafana Cloud account.
2. Go to **Testing & synthetics > Performance > Projects**.
3. Click on the **Project menu** icon for the project you want to edit.
4. Click on **Manage limits and quotas**.
5. A dialog box opens, and you can edit the limits and quotas for the project. After you’re done, select **Save**.

### Application settings

To edit limits and quotas via the Performance testing application settings:

1. Log in to your Grafana Cloud account.
2. Go to **Testing & synthetics > Performance > Settings**.
3. Under **Usage**, click **Limits and quotas**.

In this page, you can:

- Click on **Edit limits** next to the project you want to edit. A dialog box opens up and you can update or remove the project limits.
- Click on **Clear limits** next to the project you want to edit to remove all project limits.

## View project limits and quotas

There are two ways to view project limits.

### Project settings

To view limits and quotas via project settings:

1. Log in to your Grafana Cloud account.
2. Go to **Testing & synthetics > Performance > Projects**.
3. Click on the **Project menu** icon.
4. The limits and quotas for that project are listed at the top of the page.

### Application settings

To view limits and quotas via the Performance testing application settings:

1. Log in to your Grafana Cloud account.
2. Go to **Testing & synthetics > Performance > Settings**.
3. Under **Usage**, click **Limits and quotas**.
