Hi Shashank M R

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, thank you for posting your query here!

I understand that you are encountering an issue, yes, there can be several reasons for long processing times when testing a custom extraction model with Azure Document Intelligence:

Here are some steps:

1. The quality of the input documents can significantly affect processing speed. Ensure that the PDFs are clear and high-quality scans or images, as lower quality can lead to longer processing times due to the need for additional data cleaning and recognition efforts.
2. Please clear cache from webpage and restart the project.
3. If you are testing high number of pages, I would suggest testing them in batch of 10 to 50 pages.
4.  Using the free tier might limit how fast and how much you can process. Switching to a standard tier could improve speed and capacity.
5. Larger and more complex documents require more time to analyze. please test with smaller pdfs or split larger pdfs to smaller.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
