Is there a limit on API keys (Subsriptions) in Azure API Management Consumption tier?

Question

We're looking to use Azure API Management consumption tier to create an API gateway, but I've read somewhere there is a limit of 500 on the number of API keys you can create. But, I can't see any documentation on it, one way or another.

Does anyone know the truth of this?

Answer 1

Referring to this article, The maximum number of subscription (API Keys)per service instance is 500.

If you would like more than 500. The best approach would be to use premium tier or standard or basic . For non-consumption tiers don't have any artificial limit as such.
