ORA-02393: exceeded call limit on CPU usage

If you get the following message:

ORA-02393: exceeded call limit on CPU usage

it means that there is a profile attached to the user definition with an enforced limit on the CPU_PER_CALL parameter.

Such restrictions work only if system parameter RESOURCE_LIMIT is set to TRUE, which can also be set dynamically with

ALTER SYSTEM SET RESOURCE_LIMIT = TRUE SCOPE=MEMORY;

but are not enforced for user sessions there were already connected prior to executing the ALTER command.

In other words, if you want to enforce these limits, you'll need first to disconnect all affected user sessions or bounce the database supposing that you made the change permanent by indicating SCOPE=SPFILE or SCOPE=BOTH.

Note also that profile changes incur in the same problem, so if the DBA adjusts your CPU_PER_CALL limit, the change will not affect currently opened sessions.

Unfortunately there is no built-in view that allows a normal user to query his/her profile limits.
Only the DBA or a user with the necessary privileges can query view DBA_PROFILES and the usual alternate views beginning with the prefixes ALL and USER do not exist in this case.
