The system calculates the quota allocated to you and the user groups to which you belong when you provision stacks. If quota limits are exceeded, the system either displays an error message or triggers a policy-based approval
workflow.

To view quota limits, navigate to the Overview page. For more information, see [Viewing resource quota limits](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/T5eCd88pyvpLwizCkMCfGw "View quota limits to see how many resources you have consumed and how many you can provision based on quota limits set for you and your user group.").

## Quota calculation for template-based stacks {#quota-template-based-stacks__section_c43_jkk_14b}

The Stack Count is a default base system quota limit available beginning with the Yokohama release. It applies to all template-based stacks in
the service catalog.

If your Cloud Provisioning and Governance administrator has set a Stack Count
quota for you or your user group, the system calculates the stack number when you
provision a template-based stack. After provisioning, the system increases the Stack
Count quota by a value of 1 for each provisioned stack.

## Stack provisioning after exceeding quota limits {#quota-template-based-stacks__section_m4g_ps2_b4b}

If the quota limit set for you or your user group has been exceeded, the system either displays an error message or triggers an assigned policy when you attempt to provision a stack.

* If the system displays an error message indicating that the quota limit has been exceeded, you cannot provision the stack. If you think the quota limit should be increased, contact your Cloud Provisioning and Governance administrator.
* If a policy is defined in the system for exceeding the quota limit, that policy is triggered. Based on the policy, the system raises an approval request or notification for increasing the quota limit. The request follows a predefined workflow in the system for approval. If the request is approved, the system deploys the stack.
