Maximum Number of collections on CosmosDB

Hi!
I am experiencing an error when I tried to create a new collection,
As I can read the error is caused by the limit of collections on CosmosDB.
I have noticed that I am allowed to create up to 100 collections across all DataBases, but in my case, I need to create a larger amount. Is there a way to increase this limit somehow?

Thanks a lot!

    Hi @Juan Baires , welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    The current fixed limit on number of container varies based on capacity mode we select. Serverless allows us to create 100 containers while provisioned throughput allows 500 container. Below is the screenshot for the same. I am assuming you must have created serverless account.

    Azure Cosmos DB service quotas

    We can migrate this account to Provisioned throughput account and we will have an enhanced limit of 500 containers per account.

    Azure Cosmos DB allows us to increase the quota for some of the types but we dont have anything specific for increasing number of containers.
