Hello Tandon, Ankur,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand your concerns to scale the storage capacity and change accordingly with a similar specification to a lower tier.

You can scale both the memory and performance characteristics of your cache in Azure cache for Redis, but you cannot directly adjust storage capacity independently for these settings.

This link https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/cache - explains the features and limits of available tiers and help you to choose the right configuration for your needs.
