Hi, we have an Azure key vault on the standard pricing tier that is periodically getting throttled during heavy loads. How do we go about increasing our quota and engaging support? Going through the support + troubleshooting flow points us to priority community support first over creating a ticket.

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A

    Hello @Elliot I hope you are doing well.

    The throttling you're experiencing is likely due to Azure Key Vault service limits being reached during periods of heavy traffic. These limits are enforced to protect the service and cannot be increased directly through the Azure portal.

    Please check the following:

    • Review your application's request patterns and implement retry logic with exponential backoff to handle transient throttling.

    If your workload consistently exceeds the service limits, you can request a quota review by opening an Azure Support request.

    If the support workflow redirects you to Microsoft Q&A, you can instead create a Technical Support request from the Azure portal (Help + support > Create a support request) or contact your Microsoft account team if your organization has a Unified Support plan.
