# How Can I Raise My Allowances?

Guaranteed Commitment Allowances are a way for Archera to manage the risk associated with allowing customers to offload some of their commitment risk to us.

See [What are Guaranteed Commitment allowances?](/help-center/guaranteed-commitments/allowances.md) for background.

These allowances are mainly set by Archera's underwriting algorithm based on market liquidity for different commitment types. However, part of the total Guaranteed Commitment allowance a given customer has access to is based on the **volume and diversity** of Guaranteed Commitments the customer has purchased.

**This means that customers who have purchased more Guaranteed Commitments across different service types (e.g. EC2, RDS, Redshift, etc.) as well as different instance families within those services get access to higher overall Guaranteed Commitment allowances.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.archera.ai/help-center/guaranteed-commitments/raise-allowances.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
