he nova.quota_usages table frequently gets out-of-sync with the currently active/stopped instances in a tenant/project, specifically, there are times when the instance will be set to terminated/deleted in the instances table and the quota_usages table will retain the data, counting against the tenant's total quota. As far as I can tell there is no way to correlate instances.uuid with the records in nova.quota_usages.
I propose adding an instance uuid column to make future cleanup of this table easier.
I also propose a housecleaning task that does this clean up automatically.
