# quota

Configuration of the [quota manager](/6.0/5.0/component-definition/quotas-and-limits.md) used for this component. Quotas allow you to throttle the firing of your component. This is especially useful and many times even necessary to make sure you don't go over limits of the usage of the API that you call in your components. Quota managers are defined in the `quota.js` file of your service/module. Example:

```
{
     "quota": {
        "manager": "pipedrive",
        "resources": "requests",
        "scope": {
            "userId": "{{userId}}"
        }
    }
}
```

## quota.manager

The name of the quota module where usage limit rules are defined.

## quota.resources

One or more resources that identify rules from the quota module that apply to this component. Each rule in the quota module can have the `resource` property. `quota.resources` allow you to cherry-pick rules from the list of rules in the quota module that apply to this component. `quota.resources` can either be a string or an array of strings.

## quota.scope

This scope instructs the quota manager to count calls either for the whole application (service) or per-user. Currently, it can either be omitted in which case the quota limits for this component apply for the whole application or it can be `{ "userId": "{{userId}}" }` in which case the quota limits are counted per Appmixer user.
