What happens to other warehouses when one warehouse exceeds its credit usage?

  1. All other warehouses are suspended

  2. Other warehouses continue unaffected

  3. Usage is recalculated among the warehouses

  4. They become inactive until reset

The correct answer is: Other warehouses continue unaffected

When a particular warehouse exceeds its credit usage in Snowflake, the operation of other warehouses remains unaffected. Each warehouse operates independently in terms of compute resources and credit consumption. This means that if one warehouse reaches its credit limit, it will not impact the performance or availability of other active warehouses. Users can still run queries, perform tasks, and utilize resources through those remaining warehouses without interruption. Hence, they can continue to function normally, allowing for flexibility and maintaining service levels across the platform. The independence of warehouses is a significant aspect of Snowflake's architecture, enabling organizations to manage workloads and resources efficiently.
