This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going
to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue
of older requests that have come on.

In case you want to work on that, consider writing a blueprints [1] and
spec [2]. I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done. The effort to
implement the requested feature is then driven only by the blueprint
(and spec).

Title:
  absolute limits API doesn't take user quotas into account

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  The limits API always returns the per tenant limits and not any per-
  user limits that may exist.

  https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/openstack/compute/limits.py#L94-95

  The call to get_project_quotas should be replaced with a call to
  get_user_quotas.

  A similar problem exists in used_limits, as this reports overall
  tenant consumption and not the corresponding per user value.

  I suspect this just got missed when per-user project quotas were
  introduced.

  However if we do switch to showing the per user values for limits and used
  it is possible that a user might see a different set of confusing values:

  Project Quota = 10
  User Quota = 5
  User Usage = 1
  Other User Usage = 9

  If we show just the overall project usage and quota we get (used=10,
  quota=10) - which shows that the project quota is fully used.

  However if we show just the user quotas we get (used=1, quota=5), which 
  suggests that there is capacity.

  Conversely if:
  Project Quota = 10
  User Quota = 1
  User Usage = 1
  Other User Usage = 2

  If we show just the overall project usage and quota we get (used=3,
  quota=10) - which shows that the project quota is not fully used.

  However if we show just the user quotas we get (used=1, quota=1), which 
  suggests that this user doesn't have any available quota.

  
  So maybe the limits API now needs to return both the project and user level limits.
