Every account has limits on how much compute it can commit to at once. An order that would take you past a limit is refused, and nothing is placed. Selling is never refused by a compute limit, because an order that sells compute you already hold lowers your commitment.

​
The limits

compute_max_total_node_hours caps the node-hours your account holds in total across all pools. That total is the area under your allocation schedule, so buying further ahead spends the cap the same way buying wider does. compute_node_hours_free_window_seconds sets how far ahead the cap starts counting. An order that starts inside the free window counts only from the edge of the window onward, and one that fits entirely inside it does not count at all. Nothing bounds the far end, so every order you hold counts, however far out it starts. credits_max_credit is the largest credit line SF Compute will extend to your account. It bounds the credit limit shown in sf billing balance.

Verifying your organization raises your limits. Complete verification in the dashboard. To discuss a higher limit than verification gives you, contact SF Compute.
