Hi zlate81,
The "CpuQuotaExceeded" error happens when the API hits the resource limit for your tenant.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a direct way to see exactly what is using up all the CPU resources, but you can try reducing the complexity of your queries or spreading them out over time. The CPU usage limits can vary depending on your license, and the quota might be higher for premium or higher-tier plans. You can check your current limits in the Microsoft Defender documentation.
Regards!
