STATUS_QUOTA_EXCEEDED
The request crossed an enforced quota boundary
Available bytes reported for the volume do not guarantee that a write can proceed. NTFS disk quotas charge space to a user SID, and other kernel resources can also expose quota-style limits. The failing allocation must therefore be tied to the quota domain reported by the caller.
For file writes, check the user’s hard limit and charged usage rather than treating the result as a physical-disk-full condition. Retrying unchanged writes only repeats the accounting failure.
What to inspect
- Record the account or process identity to which the allocation is charged.
- Compare the requested growth with current quota usage and the enforced hard limit.
- Release chargeable resources or adjust policy; do not bypass accounting by changing only the visible file owner without review.
