• quota_time: type (str) default value (6h) : represent the quota time for the session
• gap_time: type (str) default value (30m): represent the time gap between the quota limit and the actual closing time for the session

The time has a strict format to be passed with; it has to part dw while d: represent the time as digits w: the time and one character(w) to represent the time period

• s : Seconds
• m : Minutes
• h : Hours
• d : Days

# quota _time was set for 1 minute and the gap _time as 30 second
qt = quota('1m','30s')
for i in range(1000):
    time.sleep(1)
    if qt.time_up():
        print('The process has reached the limited time')
        break

• Using hastime function:

from tquota import quota
import time
# quota _time was set for 1 minute and the gap _time as 30 second
qt = quota('1m','30s')
for i in range(1000):
    time.sleep(1)
    if not qt.hastime():
        print('The process has reached the limited time')
