Backend: Rename Ci::Minutes::Limit to CI::Minutes::Quota
Proposal
To clarify the code base and make it consistent with the UI and documentation rename CI::Minutes::Limit
to CI::Minutes::Quota
since quota is widely used in the front end.
Why?
- Make things consistent
-
Quota
is widely used in the industry (AWS, Google Compute)- tl;dr - Quotas can be adjusted up and limits are hard edges
Original issue description
In the backend code, we renamed what was Quota
to Usage
and Limit
. #345577 (closed)
In the MR that changed quota to usage all of the reviewing backend engineers agreed that the concept of usage
and limit
is clearer than quota
and we wanted to change the documentation and the UI so that the word quota
is eliminated.

To me,
usage
andlimit
are generally simpler terms, further clarified by a more obvious difference between them.
@fabiopitino said:
Can we open an issue to just use
CI minutes limit
in docs and UI?
