Azure Cosmos DB API API for MongoDB: Shared throughput limit

Question

Is there any limit for number of collections which can have shared throughput in Server Version 3.6 or 4.0?

More details:

I use the Server version 3.6 with 120 collections in total, out of which 20 collections have shared throughput.

I am planning to upgrade to 4.0 and would like to have 60 collections with shared throughput.

Based on the documentation , the limit is 25 containers per database that can utilize the shared throughput defined on the database. Beyond 25, you will need to create containers with dedicated throughput.

This is what the documentation says:

Containers in a shared throughput database share the throughput (RU/s) allocated to that database. With standard (manual) provisioned throughput, you can have up to 25 containers with a minimum of 400 RU/s on the database . With autoscale provisioned throughput, you can have up to 25 containers in a database with autoscale max 4000 RU/s (scales between 400 - 4000 RU/s).
