Azure Document Intelligence Rate Limits

Azure AI Document Intelligence enforces tier-specific transactions per second (TPS) ceilings. F0 (Free) is capped at 1 transaction per second; S0 (Standard) defaults to 15 TPS and can be raised on request via Azure support. Per-document size caps and per-call page caps depend on model and API version.

Azure Document Intelligence Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Azure AI Document Intelligence on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring tps, MB, and pages.

Limit state is signalled in the Retry-After and x-ms-ratelimit-remaining-requests response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include AI, Document AI, Azure, IDP, and OCR.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Honor 429 with Retry-After; use exponential backoff. Polling for analyze-result should follow the documented Operation-Location header cadence.
Quota Increases
Submit Azure support ticket to raise TPS or training-job concurrency on S0.
