Jaime,

That’s heavily workload dependent.  We run a traditional HPC cluster and have a 
7 day grace on home and 14 days on scratch.  By setting the soft and hard 
limits appropriately we’ve slammed the door on many a runaway user / group / 
fileset.  YMMV…

If your grace period is set to 7 days I can assure you that in an HPC 
environment it's the equivalent of not having quotas effectively. You should 
set it to 2 hours or 4 hours.

In an environment such as ours a runway process can easily generate 500TB of 
data or 1 billion inodes in few hours, and choke the file system to all 
users/jobs.
