I have an Azure API App hosted under free tier. I went through this article describing the limits and quotas. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-subscription-service-limits#app-service-limits I am not sure about the following scenario. What happens once the limit or quota is reached?

Will my API start returning 404 NOT FOUND or any particular message?

What happens once the limit or quota is reached?

In this blog, we can know that if the Azure website has reached a resource quota limit that applies to either Free or Shared scale modes, the web app might stop working, and you would see "Error 403 - This web app is stopped" when browsing to your Azure website.

In Quotas menu it mentioned

Applications hosted in a free or shared App Service plan are subject to usage quotas. If any quota is exceeded the site will be stopped until that quota resets. You can remove quotas on your app by scaling up your App Service Plan. Learn more App Service plan/pricing tier:
