Initial Android Management API device limit is 0 after enterprise creation – how can we test during quota review period?

Hello Android Enterprise Community,

We are currently building a custom MDM solution based on Android Management API and have completed the full end-to-end workflow, including enterprise creation, policy creation and assignment, enrollment token (QR) generation, device command lifecycle testing, Pub/Sub notifications, and admin panel and backend integration.

The enterprise is created successfully, however the initial device limit shows as 0, so we are unable to enroll any test devices at the moment.

We have already submitted the Android Management API initial quota request form with a detailed business use case and supporting architecture documentation. Due to the holiday period from December 19 to January 5, we understand there may be delays in review.

I would like to ask:

Is there any recommended way to test device enrollment while the initial quota request is under review?

Is a temporary or development test quota ever enabled for validation purposes?
Are there any best practices to validate an MDM implementation before quota approval?

We want to ensure our implementation fully follows Android Enterprise and Android Management API best practices. Any guidance from the community or Google team would be greatly appreciated.

Enterprise creation using Android Management API
Policy creation and assignment
Enrollment token (QR) generation
Device command lifecycle (lock, wipe, compliance)
Pub/Sub notifications for device status updates
Admin panel + backend integration

The enterprise is created successfully, however the initial device limit shows as 0, so we’re unable to enroll any test devices at the moment.

We have already submitted the Android Management API initial quota request form (500 devices) with detailed business use case and supporting architecture documentation.
Since there is a holiday period (Dec 19 – Jan 5), we understand review responses may be delayed.

Questions
Is there any recommended way to test device enrollment while the initial quota request is under review?
Is a temporary test quota ever enabled for development or internal validation?
Are there any best practices to validate an MDM implementation before quota approval?

    Unfortunately you're stuck until Google grant you even a single device. Their new policy is beyond frustrating.
