+# Metrics
+
+The metrics endpoint is exposed on `:8080` by default (customizable with the `-metrics-addr` flag).
+
+## Metric List
+
+### `hnc_hierarchicalresourcequota`
+
+This metric exposes resource limits and usage for HierarchicalResourceQuotas.
+
+#### Labels
+
+- `hrq`: Name of the HierarchicalResourceQuota
+- `namespace`: Namespace of the HierarchicalResourceQuota
+- `resource`: Resource type (e.g., `cpu`, `memory`, `pods`)
+- `type`: Either `hard` (limit) or `used` (current usage)
+
+#### Example
+
+```
+# HELP hnc_hierarchicalresourcequota HRQ hard/used like kube_resourcequota
+# TYPE hnc_hierarchicalresourcequota gauge
+hnc_hierarchicalresourcequota{hrq="team-quota",namespace="team-a",resource="cpu",type="hard"} 100
+hnc_hierarchicalresourcequota{hrq="team-quota",namespace="team-a",resource="cpu",type="used"} 45
+hnc_hierarchicalresourcequota{hrq="team-quota",namespace="team-a",resource="memory",type="hard"} 536870912
+hnc_hierarchicalresourcequota{hrq="team-quota",namespace="team-a",resource="memory",type="used"} 268435456
