Rate limits
The following rate limits apply to evaluation runs:
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Maximum size per row | 2 MB |
| Maximum rows per batch evaluation | 100,000 |
Evaluation run creations are rate-limited at the tenant, subscription, and project levels. If you exceed the limit:
- The response includes a
retry-afterheader with the wait time. - The response body contains rate limit details.
Use exponential backoff when retrying failed requests.
Bring your own storage
You can use your own storage account to run evaluations for your Foundry project, whether the project is configured with a virtual network or without one.
For projects without a virtual network, you can either use a Bicep template or manually create and provision access to your storage account in the Azure portal. For projects with a virtual network, the storage setup is already included in the setup template. To use the non-virtual-network Bicep template, follow these steps.
- Create and connect your storage account to your Foundry project at the resource or project level. You can use a Bicep template, which provisions and connects a storage account to your Foundry project with key authentication.
- Make sure the connected storage account has access to the account and project.
- If you connected your storage account by using Microsoft Entra ID, make sure to give the managed identity Storage Blob Data Owner permissions to both your account and the Foundry project resource in the Azure portal.
