How to increase storage capacity for Cosmos DB collection?

Question

I have a Cosmos DB collection in the Standard pricing tier which I'm loading new data into. Yesterday, I got a "Storage quota for 'Document' exceeded" error, and when I checked the Scale tab, I saw that the default storage capacity is 100 GB. I thought there were no storage limit in the Standard pricing tier. How can I increase the storage capacity, since this collection is supposed to contain several TBs?

Answer 1

I got a quick response from Microsoft on my support request that there are some issues with their auto-splitting operations which is limiting the storage scalability at the moment. Microsoft will manually raise the storage limit for me. Hopefully they will soon solve the auto-scaling, so we don’t have to monitor the collection size.

Currently it only enables us to adjust throughput level under Scale blade on Azure portal after the collection is created.

If possible, you can create a new collection with Unlimited Storage Capacity, and then migrate data from your source collection to that new collection.

Besides, you can create a SUPPORT REQUEST to get help from support.
