Is there any way to tell what the remaining available quota is when sending emails via ACS? Or at least tell when you're hitting the limit.
As far as I can tell there's nothing in the portal or available in the cli, and when you hit the quota and are using WaitUntil.Completed then it just hangs until more quota is available, and there's no way to check the reason why.

This is a signal that you are hitting the quota. However, the documentation does not provide a direct method to check the remaining email quota in real-time.
The best practices for handling throttling include reducing the number of operations per request, reducing the frequency of calls, and avoiding immediate retries because all requests accrue against your usage limits.
As for the issue of the process hanging when using
WaitUntil.Completedand hitting the quota, it seems there’s no direct way to check the reason why it hangs according to the current documentation You may want to consider implementing a timeout or a retry mechanism in your code to handle such situations.-Grace
