Answer 1: 5000 RU/s. You get this by dividing 30000 RU/s by 6 physical partitions. Answer 2: 60000 RU/s. The highest RU/s you can scale to without triggering Azure Cosmos DB to split partitions is equal to Current number of physical partitions * 10,000 RU/s. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/scaling-provisioned-throughput-best-practices#step-2-calculate-the-default-maximum-throughput

In an Azure Cosmos DB Core (SQL) API account, each partition supports throughput of up to 10,000 request units per second (RU/s). The container can scale to a maximum throughput of 30,000 RU/s without requiring a partition split. This is because the maximum RU/s per physical partition in Azure Cosmos DB is 10,000, and since the container is set to a manual throughput of 30,000 RU/s, it can be accommodated within three physical partitions, each handling 10,000 RU/s. Therefore, each partition supports up to 10,000 RU/s, and the container can scale up to 30,000 RU/s without a partition split.

wrong, it can not scale up because it is manually set as 30,000 so if somebody would like to scale it manually to meet the limit then the 60,000 is the correct one.

Excuse me, I meant 5000 RU/s and 30000 RU/s

5000 RU/s and 30000 RU/s or 5000 RU/s. and 60000 RU/s. You give several answers.

The RU for the database is fixed at 30,000, so it cannot exceed 30,000. The correct answers should be 5,000 RU and 30,000 RU.

How can you know there are 6 physical partitions?

- Each partition (logical/physical) support upto 10000RU/s - Graph shows based on partition key id. There are 6 partition key legend. So, The highest RU/s you can scale to without triggering Azure Cosmos DB to split partitions is equal to Current number of physical partitions * 10,000 RU/s. So, 6*10000RU/s = 60000RU/s ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/scaling-provisioned-throughput-best-practices

The correct answer should be 5000 RU/s and 60000 RU/s

Correction. it is 10000 RU/s and 60000 RU/s

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/scaling-provisioned-throughput-best-practices There's an example there. Answer 1: 5000 RU/s - throughput is evenly distributed between the 6 physical partitions Answer 2: That's a tricky one. Since it's manual, it will not go beyond 30.000 RU/s. But I think they mean how high you can possibly scale it to, and that would be 60.000, because each partition maximum can use 10.000
