    Referring to information posted here:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/scalability-targets-standard-account

    For a blob storage account, I'm not clear on what an ingress limit is.  It states that "the ingress limit refers to all data from requests that are sent to a storage account", but wouldn't that essentially be data you're sending in for storage?  If that were the case, the ingress limit shouldn't be lower than the maximum storage capacity.

    Someone help clear this up for me?

    Remi.

    The ingress limit is a rate – it's expressed as gigabits per second. So it's the amount of data that you can send at one time, not the amount of data that they can send total.

    If they were to send more than 25 Gbps, then their account might be throttled. Your patience has been highly appreciated! 

    Hope this helps!

    Blobs: 20,000 requests per second for blobs of any valid size (capped only by the account's ingress/egress limits)

    Maximum request rate per storage account

    20,000 transactions per second, which assumes a 1-KiB entity size

    Hope this helps!

    It does not - you have not addressed my question in the least, which is:

    I don't understand the difference between ingress limit and maximum storage capacity.  Please explain.

    Or, really, even simpler: what does "ingress limit" mean?  Because given my reading of it, I would think it should be the same thing as maximum storage capacity.

    Remi.
