Microsoft Azure Cache For Redis Rate Limits

Published throttling limits for the Azure Resource Manager control plane that serves management.azure.com — the host every operation in openapi/ is called on. Microsoft.Cache publishes no resource-provider-specific override, so the platform token-bucket limits below are the limits that apply to this API.

Microsoft Azure Cache For Redis Rate Limits is the rate-limit profile for Microsoft Azure Cache For Redis on the APIs.io network — every limit transcribed verbatim from the provider’s own documentation on 2026-09-17.

It captures 7 rate-limit definitions, including reads per subscription (per service principal, per region) — Subscription reads 250 25; writes per subscription (per service principal, per region) — Subscription writes 200 10; deletes per subscription (per service principal, per region) — Subscription deletes 200 10.

Limit state is signalled in the retryAfter, remaining, limit, and reset response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled, retryable_non_throttle, and note.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Quotas, and Throttling.
