Introduction to Message Quota of Azure OpenAI Service

Generated using Microsoft Designer

Azure OpenAI's quota feature enables assignment of rate limits to your deployments, up-to a global limit called your “quota.” Quota is assigned to your subscription on a per-region, per-model basis in units of Tokens-per-Minute (TPM). When you onboard a subscription to Azure OpenAI, you'll receive default quota for most available models. Then, you'll assign TPM to each deployment as it is created, and the available quota for that model will be reduced by that amount. You can continue to create deployments and assign them TPM until you reach your quota limit. Once that happens, you can only create new deployments of that model by reducing the TPM assigned to other deployments of the same model (thus freeing TPM for use), or by requesting and being approved for a model quota increase in the desired region.
