Understanding OpenVZ user bean counters
User Bean Counters (UBC) is the vital component of OpenVZ containers. These counters are set to a limit, which controls how resources are distributed among containers to guarantee proper container operations. For most containers, these limit values can be left as default. In some cases, changing the values may be necessary depending on the load of the container. The Proxmox GUI can only show the values. Any changes needs to be made through a CLI.
