Update quota

PUT
/surveys/{SURVEY_ID}/quotas/{QUOTA_ID}
Last modified:2026-09-30 08:52:47

Description#

This endpoint allows you to adjust the parameters of an existing quota for a survey:
required count
criteria
There are various scenarios where you might need to update a quota quantity. Adjusting this value allows you to:
Decrease the number of completes requested for a specific quota
Increase the number of completes requested for a specific a quota
Close the quota by setting the required count to zero or the current number of completes
The required count per quota can be set to any value greater than or equal to 0.
If the new required count is less than or equal to the current number of completes for that specific quota, the quota will effectively receive no additional traffic.
Our system uses two parameters to manage and control traffic to a quota:
required_count: the maximum number of completes allowed for the quota (this is defined either at survey creation or updated via this endpoint)
current_target: the current number of completes being targeted. This is monitored internally and must always satisfy the following condition current_target ≤ required_count.
Updating current_target only?
If you're only changing current_target, use Update Quota (PATCH) instead. It updates just that field, reducing the risk of unintended changes. Use PUT for all other quota changes.
