Why am I getting errors about my quota in Container Registry?

You have a valid IAM API key or OAuth token, but you still get Access denied errors about your quota in IBM Cloud® Container Registry.

When you try to access Container Registry, you get one of the following messages.

• Your account has exceeded its pull traffic quota for the current month.
• Your account has exceeded its image storage quota for the current month.

The following alternatives are possible causes:

• Scenario A. You exceeded your image storage quota or pull traffic quota.
• Scenario B. You're on a free plan and you need to upgrade to a standard plan.

You can fix this problem in the following ways:

• Scenario A. Review your quota limits and increase them as necessary. However, increasing your quota does increase your costs. For more information, see Managing quota limits for storage and pull traffic and Staying within quota limits.
• Scenario B. Upgrade to a standard plan. For more information, see Upgrading your service plan.
