API Stability Short-Term

Syntax

graphql
exceededQueryQuotas(
     username: string!
   ) [QueryQuotaExceeded]

For input, this query field requires only the username of the user account who may have exceeded their query quota. For the return parameters, the type of quota measurement you want to get (e.g., live cost, query count).

Example

The example below queries LogScale about the user admin, in particular, what kind of quota the account exceeded (e.g., a live cost) and when the quota limit will be reset.

The results don't show anything because this user didn't exceed the query quota.

Returned Values

There are only a couple of returned values: when the quota was reset, and the kind of quota measurement (e.g., QueryCount) — you'll have to click on the sub-datatype in the table below for that parameter to see the choices.
