Regional quota limits

The default quota for models varies by model and region. Default quota limits are subject to change.

Quota for standard deployments is described in of terms of Tokens-Per-Minute (TPM).

1 K = 1000 Tokens-Per-Minute (TPM). The relationship between TPM and Requests Per Minute (RPM) is currently defined as 6 RPM per 1000 TPM.

General best practices to remain within rate limits

To minimize issues related to rate limits, it's a good idea to use the following techniques:

  • Implement retry logic in your application.
  • Avoid sharp changes in the workload. Increase the workload gradually.
  • Test different load increase patterns.
  • Increase the quota assigned to your deployment. Move quota from another deployment, if necessary.

How to request increases to the default quotas and limits

Quota increase requests can be submitted from the Quotas page of Azure OpenAI Studio. Please note that due to overwhelming demand, quota increase requests are being accepted and will be filled in the order they are received. Priority will be given to customers who generate traffic that consumes the existing quota allocation, and your request may be denied if this condition isn't met.

For other rate limits, please submit a service request.
