Microsoft Azure Blob Storage Rate Limits

Azure Storage publishes scalability targets per storage account and per blob. Limits are not plan-tier scoped; they are account-type scoped (standard general-purpose v2, premium block blob). When targets are exceeded, the service returns 503 (Server Busy) or 500 (Operation Timeout). Higher targets are available by support request.
