azure web app error 403 quota exceeded

Hi @Hill Abrahams
If your Azure web application is returning a 403 error due to exceeding quota limits, it usually means the app has surpassed its resource limits.

• Review the quotas for your App Service plan. Free or Shared plans have specific limits on CPU, memory, bandwidth, and filesystem usage. Exceeding these can cause a 403 error.
• Use the Azure portal to monitor resource usage like CPU, memory, and bandwidth to identify any spikes or high usage.
• If the app frequently exceeds its quotas, consider upgrading to a higher tier (Basic, Standard, or Premium) with increased resource limits.
• Optimize your application code and configuration to reduce resource usage. This may involve reducing memory consumption, optimizing database queries, or implementing caching.
• Configure alerts in the Azure portal to notify you when the app is nearing its resource limits so you can take proactive measures.
• Check application logs for additional details or patterns that explain why quotas are being exceeded.

Hello @Hill Abrahams,

A 403 quota exceeded error in an Azure web app typically means your application has surpassed its allocated resource limits. Here are a few things you can check and try:

Review Your App Service Plan Quotas if Free and Shared plans have strict limits on CPU, memory, bandwidth, and filesystem usage. If your app exceeds these, it may trigger a 403 error.

You need Monitor Resource Usage in Azure portal to track CPU, memory, and bandwidth usage. Identifying spikes can help pinpoint the issue.

You need to Upgrade Your Plan If your app frequently exceeds quotas, consider moving to a higher-tier plan (Basic, Standard, or Premium) for more resources.

You need to Optimize Your App to reduce memory consumption, optimize database queries, and implement caching to lower resource usage.

I recommend setting up alerts to configure Azure notifications. This way, you'll be notified when your app is nearing its resource limits, allowing you to take proactive measures.

Lastly Check Logs for More Details for Application logs may provide additional insights into why quotas are being exceeded.
