Throttling limits for Azure Search

I'm looking for throttling information and this is the best that I've been able to find so far: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-limits-quotas-capacity#throttling-limits

For doing a search

https://{{search-service}}.search.windows.net/indexes/:index/docs?api-version={{version}}&search=some text

Is this line from the reference page above the limit for searches?

Get Index (GET /indexes/myindex): 10 per second per search unit

I'm trying to see what the limit is for searching only under ideal scenario of nothing else happening such as an indexer running.

Solution

  • For Azure search, there are 2 kinds of APIs: Query APIs (Search/Suggest/Autocomplete) and Index APIs .

    The one you mentioned belongs to Index APIs:

    Get Index (GET /indexes/myindex): 10 per second per search unit

    If you want to know Query APIs(searching) limit (QPS limit), this doc will be helpful: enter image description here
