Hi, I activate an "S0 Standard" OpenAI service on my Azure subscription.
So far I just used the Completion service, even for requests with several hundred tokens, without any issue.
Yesterday I started exploring the Embeddings feature of the same OpenAI instance.
I created my first embedding and it worked, but as soon as I tried generating the second one, I go the error
"
RateLimitError: Requests to the Embeddings_Create Operation under Azure OpenAI API version 2022-12-01 have exceeded call rate limit of your current OpenAI S0 pricing tier. Please retry after 57 seconds. Please go here: https://aka.ms/oai/quotaincrease if you would like to further increase the default rate limit.
"
In other words, I can make a single call per minute, which makes this service un-usable.
As said I'm not using a free version but the (only) paid version on Azure, and I can't believe I need to ask a quota increase for doing more than a call per minute.
Any hints, really appreciated. Thanks
@Mauro Minella Due to the current demand of the service, there are some soft limits that are set on all Azure OpenAI resources to ensure that the backend compute does not run out of capacity. The service team has set this procedure to review and whitelist subscriptions based on requests that are submitted in this form. I hope this helps!!
@Mauro Minella Did you get a chance to submit a request for rate increase and then check if your requests worked?

You can add delay in calling the embedding function so that it will by-pass the 4sec retry error
adding sleep()
