SQL SERVER to DATA FACTORY the request limit for the database is 120 and has been reached

Question

I have an SQL server database linked to azure data factory. when I sometimes run a query on a table. I get the following pop up error message, but the table still runs.

error unable to apply connection settings the detailed error message is resource id...the request limit for the database is 120 and has been reached

Answer 1

I fixed it by going into data factory → pipeline → copy data object → source tab, and changing the 120-seconds timeout limit to 240 seconds.

Answer 2

It all depends on the performance of your query. You can first check for any performance improvements and then if that doesn't solve the problem then you can try increasing the tier as mentioned here
