### Overview

Deletes a usage quota by its opaque identifier. The quota must belong to the caller's organization or one of its descendants, and its opaque identifier must belong to the requested quota namespace. Requires the `billing_edit` permission.

This endpoint requires the `billing_edit` permission.

OAuth apps require the `billing_edit` authorization [scope](https://dnd37xeb23o8n.cloudfront.net/jen.gilbert/astro-base/fr/api/latest/scopes.md#usage-metering) to access this endpoint.
