My understanding of Resource Quota it it is the compute power you are allocated for you "farm" or "virtual farm" (v-farm)?

 

The article that Zoltan Bagyon shared does speak to sandbox solutions and "customizations".

 

Maybe it is a non-issue now.

 

I would assume that Add-ins may have an impact.

 

To Deleted' s point , I also assume that client side javascript that isn't calling web services would be a non-issue.

The only thing I've seen that counts against  resource quota in SPO is the previously mentioned and already deprecated sandboxed solutions, whose successors are the add-ins. But even SPO hosted add-ins have no documented impact on this (based on this article), also workflow throttling is managed by a different way.

So correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that this is now just a legacy-setting.

    Great info Zoltan Bagyon! I appreciate it.

     

    It is interesting that this is no longer tracked. It is the core cost for cloud technology (compute). The SharePoint farm is using these resources (clearly).

     

    I guess if I wanted to test it I could set a site collection to the entire allocation for the tenant!

     

    Thanks for all the great info!
