How to Manage Resource Limits for Organization Teams

Last verified 30 Sep 2026

Organization owners and admins can view resource usage and limits for every team in their organization from the Resource limits tab of the organization dashboard, and can adjust team limits directly. To open the dashboard, click the profile icon in the top right of the Control Panel, click View Organizations, then click the organization you want to manage.

The Resource limits tab is visible only to organization owners and admins. Organization billers do not see the tab. Team members cannot use this tab to edit limits; they manage limits from their team’s Resource Limits page unless the team is organization-managed.

View Team Resource Usage and Limits

The Resource limits tab lists every team in the organization with the team’s name, team ID, and contact email. To find a specific team, use the search field to search by team ID.

A warning icon appears next to teams that are nearing a resource limit, and a danger icon appears next to teams that have reached a resource limit.

Click a team to expand it and view per-resource usage and limits. The resource table displays the current usage, the current limit, and the tier maximum for each resource:

  • Usage/Limit: The team’s current usage against its current limit. Click the column header to sort by usage ratio. By default, resources are sorted with the highest usage first. A warning icon appears next to resources nearing the limit.

  • Limit Max: The maximum limit the team’s tier allows. Organization owners and admins can adjust a team’s limit up to this value. Increases beyond it require a support request.

Edit Team Resource Limits

To adjust a team’s limit for a resource, click the … menu next to the resource and select Edit limits. Enter the new limit in the field and click Save.

The new limit must be a whole number greater than or equal to the team’s current usage and no greater than the tier maximum shown in the Limit Max column. If you enter a value below the current usage, the page displays an inline error and does not save the change.

Changes take effect immediately and are reflected in the team’s Resource Limits page. DigitalOcean logs every limit change with the user who made the change, the timestamp, the resource type, and the old and new values.

When an organization owner or admin adjusts a team’s limits, the team’s own Increase resource limit window displays the message “Your resource limits are managed by your organization. To request a change, reach out to your Organization Admin.” and the team’s self-serve increase options are disabled.

Request a Limit Increase Beyond the Tier Maximum

To request a limit above the tier maximum for a team, click the … menu next to the resource and select Request for an Increase to open the request window. Submitting the request files a support ticket on the team’s behalf.
