Some Azure CDNs offerings are only available to certain subscription types. Bandwidth throttling might also apply depending on your subscription type.
Free and Trial Subscription
Azure CDN from Microsoft is the only CDN offering that is available to trial subscriptions. Bandwidth throttling is applied for this type of subscription.
Pay-as-you-go
Bandwidth for Azure CDN from Microsoft gets throttled until the subscription is determined to be in good standing and has a sufficient payment history. The process for determining the subscription status and having throttling removed happens automatically after the first payment has been received.
If you have made a payment and throttling hasn't been removed, you can request to do so by contacting support.
