SYS.C_USER# is the name of the cluster that contains the USER$ table (list of usernames in the database) and the TSQ$ table (list of tablespace quotas for each user). See below for information from the database showing how those tables are related. Are you adding users / changing tablespace quotas at an unusual rate?
