Configuring Bucket Storage Quota
Functions
By default, neither the entire OBS system nor any single bucket has limits on storage capacity or the number of objects that can be stored. You can set a quota for a bucket to limit the total size of objects that can be uploaded to the bucket. If the total object size reaches the upper limit, object uploads will fail.
A bucket quota can control object uploading only after the quota is set. If the bucket quota is less than the capacity of the uploaded objects, the existing objects will not be deleted, but new objects cannot be uploaded. In this case, you can upload new objects only after deleting some existing objects until the used storage capacity is less than the quota limit.
For more information about bucket quotas, see Managing Bucket Quotas.

Authorization Information
To call this API, you must be the bucket owner or have the permission to configure a storage quota for a bucket. You are advised to use IAM or bucket policies for authorization. For details about OBS authorization methods, see Differences Between OBS Permissions Control Methods.
- If you use IAM for authorization, you need to use either role/policy-based authorization or identity policy-based authorization and configure the required permissions:
- If you use role/policy-based authorization (IAM v3 APIs in the old IAM version), you need to grant the obs:bucket:PutBucketQuota permission. For details, see Creating a Custom IAM Policy.
- If you use identity policy-based authorization (IAM v5 APIs in the new IAM version), you need to grant the obs:bucket:putBucketQuota permission, as shown in the following table. For details, see Creating a Custom IAM Identity Policy.

Using SDKs to Call APIs
You are advised to use OBS SDKs to call APIs. SDKs encapsulate APIs to simplify development. You can call SDK API functions to access OBS without manually calculating signatures.
