Yes, there's a difference between quotas and limits: you're able to change quotas, but you're not able to change limits.

Accordingly to the documentation Working with Quotas:

Google Cloud enforces quotas on resource usage for project owners, setting a hard limit on how much of a particular Google Cloud resource your project can use.

and

Quotas are enforced for a variety of reasons: for example, they protect the community of Google Cloud users by preventing unforeseen spikes in usage. Quotas also help you with resource management: for instance, you can set your own caps on service usage within your Google-provided quota while developing and testing your applications. Each quota limit is expressed in terms of a particular countable resource, from requests per day to an API to the number of load balancers used by your application.

To change current quota limits you can request changes to quota from the Quotas page in the Cloud Console accordingly to the documentation:

  1. In the Google Cloud Console, go to Quotas on the IAM & Admin page.
  2. Open the Filter table and select Limit name: to search for a quota you want to adjust.
  3. Select the Service for which you want to adjust your quota.
  4. Make your selection from the drop-down options.
  5. Edit your quota limit.
  6. Click SAVE.

A request to decrease quota is rejected by default. If you must reduce your quota, reply to the support email with an explanation of your requirements. A support representative from the Compute Engine team will respond to your request within 24 to 48 hours.

Accordingly to the documentation limits cannot generally be increased unless specifically noted. Please have a look at the VPC documentation Quotas and limits section VPC Limits:

limits

same at the IAM documentation Quotas and limits section Limits, and same for other GCP products and services.

  • Thanks Rohoza,So it's mean quota limit different and limits different? Can we use quotas at organization level,I see only limits are their per organization level is it correct? And where we can find limits in google Console. – Mahaboob Dec 10 '20 at 09:24
  • Yes, quota limits or quotas are different from limits of GCP products and services. You can find information about limits at the documentation pages, also you'll get a message at the Cloud Console if you try to go over the limit. – Serhii Rohoza Dec 10 '20 at 11:02
  • You should use quotas on the project level. Accordingly to the [documentation](https://cloud.google.com/docs/overview#projects) "any Google Cloud resources that you allocate and use must belong to a project. You can think of a project as the organizing entity for what you're building. A project is made up of the settings, permissions, and other metadata that describe your applications. Resources within a single project can work together easily, for example by communicating through an internal network, subject to the regions-and-zones rules. " – Serhii Rohoza Dec 10 '20 at 11:06
