Thanks for reaching here!

As Portal pages refresh every few minutes so if you recently updated an index, wait a bit before checking results.

The following screenshot is for an older Standard 1 search service, configured for one partition and one replica.

• Storage quota is a disk constraint, and it's inclusive of all indexes (vector and nonvector) on a search service.
• Vector index size quota is a memory constraint. It's the amount of memory required to load all internal vector indexes created for each vector field on a search service.

The screenshot indicates that indexes (vector and nonvector) consume almost 460 megabytes of available disk storage. Vector indexes consume almost 93 megabytes of memory at the service level.

Quotas for both storage and vector index size increase or decrease as you add or remove partitions. If you change the partition count, the tile shows a corresponding change in storage and vector quota.
