capacity

crabbox capacity [--json] reports the authenticated owner's current admission count and effective owner limit. It requires a configured coordinator and uses the normal coordinator credentials, including the existing resolved shared or unknown owner identity. It never falls back to a direct provider or local lease list. Older coordinators without GET /v1/capacity return an unsupported error.

The only option is --json (plus --help). There are no positional arguments or owner, user, org, month, or scope selectors. Even admin requests report only the owner resolved by normal authentication. The API rejects every query parameter with HTTP 400.

self-owner admission count: owner=github:12345 activeLeases=10
effective owner limit: 10
observed at: 2026-09-02T12:00:00.000Z
Snapshot only; not a reservation or approval to allocate.

JSON contains exactly four fields:

{
  "owner": "github:12345",
  "activeLeases": 10,
  "effectiveLimit": 10,
  "observedAt": "2026-09-02T12:00:00.000Z"
}

effectiveLimit: 0 means the selected owner limit is off; text prints off. The selected limit uses the existing capacity-owner policy, independently of admin authentication. A positive elevated limit for a configured member selects the larger of ordinary and elevated limits, including when the ordinary limit is zero. The response does not expose membership or the underlying limit config.

activeLeases counts existing admission entries only, with no candidate added. At ten existing leases and a limit of ten, the diagnostic succeeds with 10; an attempted new allocation would instead be checked as 11/10. Successful diagnostics exit 0 even at or above the cap. Invalid syntax/configuration and request errors follow normal CLI error handling; errors go to stderr and data go to stdout. Malformed successful responses fail instead of displaying zeros.

Unlike monthly usage, the count spans every creation month and org for the exact, case-sensitive owner identity. Active and provisioning managed leases count even after their canonical expiry, until a terminal state is committed. Released, expired, failed, and registered inventory records do not count. A live, unexpired admission reservation overrides its canonical lease by ID and counts once; reservation-only IDs count too. Stale reservations are ignored without cleanup, with canonical records used when present. Shared leases owned by someone else and direct-only leases absent from the coordinator do not count.

This read-only snapshot uses the same serialized boundary as admission on Cloudflare and Node. Normal service startup and background recovery retain their existing behavior; the capacity handler itself neither allocates nor reconciles resources, deletes stale records, schedules maintenance, nor calls providers. It reveals no lease IDs, records, org/provider breakdowns, costs, or other owners' counts. The aggregate is a narrow exception to owner/org visibility, not expanded access to lease records or monthly reports.

The snapshot is not a reservation or approval to allocate. Fleet, org, budget, and provider gates may still reject allocation, and the count can change after observedAt. See cost and usage and auth and routing.
