Quota

During the Beta release of the service, each user is granted a quota of 2500 samples for array imputation at no cost, thanks to funding from the NIH. This quota may change in the future. After the Beta release, access to the service will transition to a paid model, with pricing based on the number of samples processed.

To control costs, the imputation service leverages a quota system that manages the the amount a single user can submit per submission. The unit of quota for a pipeline can be samples, variants, bases, etc.  You cannot submit data with more quota usage than the quota you have been granted.

For example, the quota unit for Array Imputation is samples.  This means if you only have 1000 quota left, you can only do a submission with a maximum of 1000 samples.

Calculating quota for a job

Each submitted job will run a quota check that counts the number of quota unit in the input data. The number of quota units in the input data will be the amount of quota charged for the successful job.

Please be aware: To keep the cost per quota unit consistent, each pipeline has a minimum quota charged per job, even if your input contains fewer quota units than that minimum. The service won't stop you from running fewer quota units, but you'll be charged for whatever the pipeline's minimum quota is.

If a job fails, it does not count against your quota; the service returns your quota to you.

How much quota do you have? 

You can check your remaining quota with either the web portal or the CLI:

Web Portal

Log in to the web portal and navigate to the "Run Job" tab. With a pipeline selected, the "Quota Remaining" widget on the right side of the screen will show you how much quota you've used and how much is left.

CLI

Once you have installed the terralab-cli tool, use the terralab quota PIPELINE_NAME command for detailed information about how much quota you’ve used and how much is left. For example:

terralab quota array_imputation
