Microsoft Azure Data Factory Rate Limits

Published throttling limits for the Azure Data Factory REST API. This replaces a 2026-05-04 scaffold that asserted invented per-API-key limits (10 rpm free tier, X-RateLimit-* headers). Data Factory has no API keys and returns no X-RateLimit-* headers. It is a Microsoft.DataFactory resource provider behind Azure Resource Manager, so the real limits are ARM's regional token-bucket limits, applied per subscription per service principal per operation type, and the real runtime signal is the x-ms-ratelimit-remaining-* family.

Microsoft Azure Data Factory Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Azure Data Factory on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 6 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_second.

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

The profile also includes response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, and serviceUnavailable.

Tagged areas include Rate Limiting, Quotas, and Throttling.
