 In a manual QoS capacity pool, you can assign the capacity and throughput for a volume independently. For minimum and maximum throughput levels, see [Resource limits for Azure NetApp Files](azure-netapp-files-resource-limits.md#resource-limits). The total throughput of all volumes created with a manual QoS capacity pool is limited by the total throughput of the pool. It's determined by the combination of the pool size and the service-level throughput.  For instance, a 4-TiB capacity pool with the Ultra service level has a total throughput capacity of 512 MiB/s (4 TiB x 128 MiB/s/TiB) available for the volumes.
 
-Manual QoS capacity pools also support the [**Flexible** service level](azure-netapp-files-service-levels.md#Flexible), enabling you to adjust throughput and size limits independently for capacity pools using manual QoS. This service level is designed for demanding applications such as Oracle or SAP HANA.

 * Short-term clone volume size contributes to capacity pool quota like any other volume.
 * If the capacity pool hosting the short-term clone is set to auto QoS, throughput is calculated based on the quota value (volume size) you assign when creating the short-term clone. For a short-term clone in capacity pools with manual QoS, throughput is assigned when creating the short-term clone.
