Issue script & Debug output

Expected behavior

We do not expect to get this error, or get a least help/info when this limit will be reached

Environment Summary

azure-cli 2.80.0

core 2.80.0
telemetry 1.1.0

Additional context

What is this "internal limit"? Is is documented anywhere? How do we know that the limit is nearly reached?

The recommentation in the error message:
"recommendedAction": [
"Please retry after few hours"
]

It's not acceptable for us to retry after "few hours"

any updates here? @yonzhan

Hi @huf1, this is not an issue with the CLI as such. The service has a daily limit of 100 Backup Vault Create/Updates, which is getting reflected in the error message passed through as-is.

I'm unable to find any public documentation of the internal limit. For more information or any action items, please file an issue with Microsoft Azure itself - they'd be able to help you better.
