This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue of older requests that have come on.
In case you want to work on that, consider writing a blueprints [1] and spec [2]. I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done. The effort to implement the requested feature is then driven only by the blueprint (and spec).

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1337991 Title: absolute limits API doesn't take user quotas into account Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Opinion Bug description: The limits API always returns the per tenant limits and not any per- user limits that may exist. https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/openstack/compute/limits.py#L94-95 The call to get_project_quotas should be replaced with a call to get_user_quotas. A similar problem exists in used_limits, as this reports overall tenant consumption and not the corresponding per user value. I suspect this just got missed when per-user project quotas were introduced. However if we do switch to showing the per user values for limits and used it is possible that a user might see a different set of confusing values: Project Quota = 10 User Quota = 5 User Usage = 1 Other User Usage = 9 If we show just the overall project usage and quota we get (used=10, quota=10) - which shows that the project quota is fully used. However if we show just the user quotas we get (used=1, quota=5), which suggests that there is capacity. Conversely if: Project Quota = 10 User Quota = 1 User Usage = 1 Other User Usage = 2 If we show just the overall project usage and quota we get (used=3, quota=10) - which shows that the project quota is not fully used. However if we show just the user quotas we get (used=1, quota=1), which suggests that this user doesn't have any available quota. So maybe the limits API now needs to return both the project and user level limits.
