How to request an increase to the default limits

To increase rate limits and resource limits, you can submit a support request. However, for other quota limits, you need to switch to a higher pricing tier to increase those quotas.

Submit a support request and provide the following information:

  • A description of your Face use case.
  • The reason for requesting an increase in your current limits.
  • Which of your subscriptions or resources are affected?
  • What limits would you like to increase? (rate limits or resource limits)
  • For rate limits increase:
    • How much TPS (Transaction per second) would you like to increase?
    • How often do you experience throttling?
    • Did you review your call history to better anticipate your future requirements? To view your usage history, see the monitoring metrics on Azure portal.
  • For resource limits:
    • How much resources limit do you want to increase?
    • How many Face resources do you currently have? Did you attempt to integrate your application with fewer Face resources?

We evaluate TPS increase requests on a case-by-case basis, and our decision is based on the following criteria:

  • Region capacity/availability.
  • Certain scenarios require approval through the gating process.
  • You must currently be receiving 429 errors often.
