This document lists some of the most common Microsoft Azure limits, which are also sometimes called quotas.
To learn more about Azure pricing, see Azure pricing overview. There, you can estimate your costs by using the pricing calculator. You also can go to the pricing details page for a particular service, for example, Windows VMs. For tips to help manage your costs, see Prevent unexpected costs with Azure billing and cost management.
Note
Some services have adjustable limits.
When the limit can be adjusted, the tables include Default limit and Maximum limit headers. The limit can be raised above the default limit but not above the maximum limit. Some services with adjustable limits use different headers with information about adjusting the limit.
When a service doesn't have adjustable limits, the following tables use the header Limit without any additional information about adjusting the limit. In those cases, the default and the maximum limits are the same.
If you want to raise the limit or quota above the default limit, open an online customer support request at no charge.
The terms soft limit and hard limit often are used informally to describe the current, adjustable limit (soft limit) and the maximum limit (hard limit). If a limit isn't adjustable, there won't be a soft limit, only a hard limit.
Free Trial subscriptions aren't eligible for limit or quota increases. If you have a Free Trial subscription, you can upgrade to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription. For more information, see Upgrade your Azure Free Trial subscription to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription and the Free Trial subscription FAQ.
Some limits are managed at a regional level.
Let's use vCPU quotas as an example. To request a quota increase with support for vCPUs, you must decide how many vCPUs you want to use in which regions. You then request an increase in vCPU quotas for the amounts and regions that you want. If you need to use 30 vCPUs in West Europe to run your application there, you specifically request 30 vCPUs in West Europe. Your vCPU quota isn't increased in any other region--only West Europe has the 30-vCPU quota.
As a result, decide what your quotas must be for your workload in any one region. Then request that amount in each region into which you want to deploy. For help in how to determine your current quotas for specific regions, see Resolve errors for resource quotas.
For limits on resource names, see Naming rules and restrictions for Azure resources.
For information about Resource Manager API read and write limits, see Throttling Resource Manager requests.

Pricing tiers determine the capacity and limits of your search service. Tiers include:
- Free multitenant service, shared with other Azure subscribers, is intended for evaluation and small development projects.
- Basic provides dedicated computing resources for production workloads at a smaller scale, with up to three replicas for highly available query workloads.
- Standard, which includes S1, S2, S3, and S3 High Density, is for larger production workloads. Multiple levels exist within the Standard tier so that you can choose a resource configuration that best matches your workload profile.
