Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a transmitter and an update unit. The transmitter refers to a memory in response to an availability determination request with designation of a requested usage amount of a function. The memory stores a usable amount for each of second periods which are set by dividing a first period into plural periods. An upper limit value of a usage amount of the function which it is not allowed to exceed being set to the first period. The usable amount for each of the second periods is set as an initial value by allocating the upper limit value to the second periods. The transmitter transmits executability information to a request source of the availability determination request when the function in the requested usage amount is executable. The update unit updates the usable amounts stored in the memory based on the requested usage amount.
