Azure Maps QPS rate limits
Azure Maps doesn't have any maximum daily limits on the number of requests that can be made, however there are limits to the maximum number of queries per second (QPS).
Note
Azure Maps Gen1 pricing tier retirement
Gen1 pricing tier is now deprecated and will be retired on 9/15/26. Gen2 pricing tier replaces Gen1 (both S0 and S1) pricing tier. If your Azure Maps account has Gen1 pricing tier selected, you can switch to Gen2 pricing tier before it’s retired, otherwise it will automatically be updated. For more information, see Manage the pricing tier of your Azure Maps account.

When QPS limits are reached, an HTTP 429 error is returned. If you're using the Gen 2 or Gen 1 S1 pricing tiers, you can create an Azure Maps Technical Support Request in the Azure portal to increase a specific QPS limit if needed. QPS limits for the Gen 1 S0 pricing tier can't be increased.
