# Request a price quote

> Validate a candidate pod or volume spec against live capacity and return a signed price quote. Pass the returned `quoteId` in the following create or grow request. Quotes expire after 120 seconds; the price is rechecked at accept time and a changed price fails with `409 price_changed`. Requires compute `read` access.
