This document lists the process to make a capacity reservation request for
Document AI. Document AI capacity reservation provides reserved
capacity to serve real-time, high-volume prediction traffic for the subscribed
period, helping meet Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements. Each unit
corresponds to an additional page-per-minute beyond the default quota. Capacity
reservation is supported and required for increasing provisioned tier
quotas of [custom extractor](https://docs.cloud.google.com/document-ai/docs/ce-with-genai#models) models v1.4
and v1.5, including fine-tuned processor versions built on them. Pricing for
capacity reservation is $300 USD for every extra page-per-minute per-month.

## Considerations before purchasing capacity reservation

To help you decide whether to purchase capacity reservation, consider the following:

- **You can't cancel your order in the middle of your term.**

  Your capacity reservation purchase is a commitment. However, you
  can increase the number of purchased pages per minute. If you accidentally
  purchase a commitment or there's a problem with your configuration,
  [contact your Google Cloud account representative](https://cloud.google.com/contact)
  for assistance.
- **You can auto-renew your subscription.**

  When you submit your order, you can choose to auto-renew your subscription
  at the end of its term, or let the subscription expire. You can cancel the
  auto-renew process. To cancel your subscription before it auto-renews, cancel
  the auto-renewal 30 days before the start of the next term.

  You can configure monthly subscriptions to renew automatically each month.
  Weekly terms don't support automatic renewal.

Because orders are processed on a best-effort basis, ensure timely processing by
placing orders as early as possible.
