Object storage quotas

Object storage quotas

We recommend uploading objects larger than 100 MB using segmented-upload via S3 API or Swift API.

You set storage limits and container limits yourself.

Storage entity limits⁠

If the limit is exceeded, the server will return a response with the code 429 Too Many Requests and the message Rate Limit exceeded.

Maximum number of containers	2000*
Maximum container name size	128 UTF-8 characters
Maximum size of all headers/metadata per account/container/object in the request body	8 KB
Maximum size of all headers/metadata of a view X-Account-Meta-$Name, X-Container-Meta-$Name, X-Object-Meta-$Name	4 KB
Maximum number of headers per account, container or object	90
Maximum header name size	64 UTF-8 characters
Maximum number of characters in client header value	256 UTF-8 characters
