Service limits are the quota or allowance set on a resource. When you sign up for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), default limits are configured for your tenancy. These default limits vary depending on which type of tenancy you have. As you use your OCI account, limits can increase automatically based on resource usage, and others might require a manual increase.
Proper capacity management is integral to ensure billing predictability and service continuity. So, Oracle has created the following video to help understand the capacity management tools OCI provides, how to use them, and how to plan ahead.
