Budget hosted feature layers in AGOL

LyonMNGIS

Hello,

Is there a way to limit how large a hosted feature layer is within ArcGIS Online?  I want members of my organization to have the ability to post their own layers.  However, hosted features consume a fair amount of credits.

The current budgeting tool does not allow us to block the size of any feature layer.

No, this is not possible. The credit budgeting tools also don't constrain it:

Here are things you can do to help:

• Training. Remove publisher rights until they have undertaken training and understand the implications of their usage.
• Monitoring. Use the status tools and item sizes to understand who is using the most credits and what items are the most impactful. Users not following good practice can go back to training / have their rights removed.

This still applies in other environments, e.g. Portal for ArcGIS. Even though it doesn't cost credits, it takes up server resources, so we want our GIS users to understand best practices when it comes to publishing and uploading content.
