It has to scan the whole filesystem and if you have a lot of files, it'll take a while.

Can you boot the VPS with a live distro and mount the disk from there?
In that case, I suppose that disabling the quota options in /etc/fstab should let you boot. You can reenable it later and check the quota on the running system.
how long will it take time? it has been running for a hour
my vps is 1TB with 550GB files
The size of the files doesn't matter, it matters how many actual files you have.
How much RAM do you have?

i tried it by removing usrquota from fstab but it doesn't work
RAM 1.7GB 1 core
has been running for 3 hours and still running
How many inodes in use?
If you have lots of small files that is normal. Much worse if you have millions of files in a single folder with no sub folders. Not saying its your case but for example, huge emails accounts like 50GB are a PITA for any sort of scans.
