Yes, you can typically apply for a quota increase after reaching the upper limit of Elastic IPs (EIPs), depending on the cloud service provider's policies. Most providers allow users to request a higher quota if they have valid use cases, such as scaling applications or handling increased traffic.
Example:
If your application requires more than the default limit of 5 EIPs (common in many regions), you can submit a quota increase request. You may need to justify the need, such as deploying additional servers or load balancers.
In Tencent Cloud, you can request a quota increase through the Quota Management feature in the console. Navigate to Quota Center under Account & Security, select Elastic IP, and submit a request with details about your usage requirements. Tencent Cloud's support team will review and approve eligible requests.
This flexibility ensures that businesses can scale their network resources as needed without being restricted by initial limits.
