Quota exceeded error with speech translation

Question

We've experienced the following error intermittently with the speech translation service.

Error code: 1007. Error details: Quota exceeded.

We did switch from the Free to the Standard level of service and this appears to have resolved the issue. One question we have is what the quota refers to. We thought it might refer to the limit of 5 hr. of speech-to-text per month at the Free level, but based on this documentation it seems to refer to a limit on concurrent requests. Which is correct?

Hello @Mitch Clark , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Generally, the error code 1007 with the error details "Quota exceeded" indicates that you have exceeded the quota for the Speech service. For example, if the 5 audio hours free per month to the Speech-to-Text service is exceeded you get this quota issue. Either you need to wait until next month or switch to standard tier. You can always check the usage metrics in the azure portal.

On the other hand, the throttled issue like error 429 (too many requests) is related to concurrent request limit . This limit applies to the number of concurrent requests that can be processed by the service at any given time.

For Free tier this limit is not adjustable. However, for standard pricing the rate is adjustable.

I hope this helps.
