Earth Engine is introducing
noncommercial quota tiers to safeguard shared compute resources and ensure reliable performance for everyone. All noncommercial projects will need to select a quota tier by
April 27, 2026 or will use the Community Tier by default. Tier quotas will take effect for all projects (regardless of tier selection date) on
April 27, 2026.

Returns a feature containing the bounding box of the geometry of a given feature.
| Usage | Returns | Feature.bounds(maxError, proj) | Feature |
| Argument | Type | Details | this: feature | Element | The feature the bound of which is being calculated. |
maxError | ErrorMargin, default: null | The maximum amount of error tolerated when performing any necessary reprojection. |
proj | Projection, default: null | If specified, the result will be in this projection. Otherwise it will be in EPSG:4326. |

[null,null,["Last updated 2024-06-05 UTC."],[],["The `Feature.bounds()` method calculates and returns a new feature representing the bounding box of an input feature's geometry. It accepts optional arguments `maxError` to control reprojection accuracy and `proj` to specify the desired output projection (defaulting to EPSG:4326). The method operates on a given feature and produces a bounding box feature, accommodating potential reprojection if requested. The input feature can be any element.\n"]]
