# Block Storage quotas

Quotas are account-level limits that manage resource usage for Block Storage volumes. Use these limits to ensure efficient storage allocation, maintain system stability, and plan for future growth.

Each quota is listed below along with the default values.

# Per region quotas

| Quota                                                   | Account Quota Value |
| :------------------------------------------------------ | :------------------ |
| Total regional storage capacity per account, per region | 100 TB              |

# View quotas and request an increase

You can view your current quotas and usage in [Cloud Manager](https://cloud.linode.com/quotas?service=volumes) and [the API](https://techdocs.akamai.com/linode-api/reference/get-volume-quotas) . The CLI support will be added in future releases.\
See the [Quotas](https://techdocs.akamai.com/cloud-computing/docs/quotas) guide for Cloud Manager instructions on how to check your account quotas and increase your quotas above their default values.
