Azure-docs: Do Primary & Secondary replicate use the same counter and share the same service limit ?.

[hung-doan]

In case I enable a Read-only secondary replicate - RA-GRS.

Do we use them the same counter & share the same service limitation ?.

_For example:_ "Maximum request rate per storage account" is limited to 20,000 requests per second.

Do that 20,000 requests include all requests to both primary & secondary?

@hung-doan Thanks for the question! We are investigating and will update you shortly.

@hung-doan - That's right. The limits are for the storage account as a whole, regardless of which endpoint you are hitting.

The secondary is designed to be used in the event that the primary becomes unavailable. It's not really designed to be used at the same time as the primary (although you can do that for testing purposes).
