The record

Purpose: Capacity Planner shows current and forecasted use of Google Cloud resources to help plan future capacity and quota needs.
Resources: It covers Compute Engine instances, Persistent Disk and Hyperdisk volumes, GPUs, TPUs, and Cloud Storage bucket egress bandwidth.
Forecasts: Forecasts combine linear and superlinear models, and include yearly seasonality for scopes with at least two years of usage data.
Usage percentiles: Compute resources can be viewed at P50, P75, and P99 usage percentiles; Cloud Storage bucket usage is available at P100 only.
Quota automation: The quota adjuster can automatically submit quota increase requests when a project’s quota nears a limit, subject to sufficient usage data and supported resources.
Exports and integrations: Usage and forecast data can be exported as CSV or, through the API, to Cloud Storage or BigQuery.
API: The Capacity Planner REST API provides programmatic access to product features at project, folder, and organization scopes.
Data window: Historical usage is available for up to two years, forecasts extend up to six months, and historical forecast snapshots cover up to one year.
Data freshness: Capacity Planner samples historical usage every five minutes and displays it within 24 hours; Overview insights update at least once every 48 hours.
Notable limits: Forecasts are not supported for Spot VMs or Cloud Storage buckets, and Cloud Storage bucket history is unavailable before December 1, 2025.
Availability and support: The product is in Preview under Pre-GA terms, is provided as is, and might have limited support; some organizations might need to request access from their technical account manager or Google Cloud sales.
Security and access: Access to viewing data is controlled through Google Cloud IAM roles and permissions, including the Capacity Planner Viewer role.
