allotted
Distributed by share
Allotted means assigned, distributed, or set aside for a particular purpose.
Time, money, space, or resources are typically what get allotted: Each speaker was given their allotted fifteen minutes.
The word implies a predetermined portion—something measured out according to a plan rather than taken freely.
