## Description {#description}

The [`mc quota`](#command-mc.quota) commands configure, display, or remove a quota limit on a bucket.

When a bucket with a quota configured reaches the specified limit, as determined by the MinIO object scanner, MinIO rejects further `PUT` requests for the bucket.

Each time the MinIO [object scanner](/administration/object-management/object-lifecycle-management/#minio-lifecycle-management-scanner) scans a bucket for pending [object lifecycle transitions](/administration/object-management/object-lifecycle-management/#minio-lifecycle-management), it also checks if the bucket has exceeded a configured quota.

> [!NOTE]
> **Quota enforcement is not immediate**
>
> Bucket quotas are not intended to enforce a strict hard limit on a bucket’s size. If a bucket exceeds its quota between scanner passes, MinIO continues to accept `PUT` requests for that bucket until _after_ the next scanner pass identifies the quota violation.
