Grafana gets throttled
Hi, thanks for the great tool!
We're currently using Playfab for leaderboards and to report player events, to help us balance the game.
We're trying to take this one step further and setup a Grafana dashboard with usage charts and widgets from the player events we're posting to Playfab. Following the steps described here, we managed to get it working smoothly.
However we keep on getting throttled by Azure: most of our Grafana panels show a Azure HTTP 429 Too many requests error.
We're still on a free plan, so we are wondering whether that might be the cause of this? Or is Grafana+Playfab through player events simply not the way to do this?

This can be related to the insight management performance level of your title. You may navigate to [Game Manger] -> [Data] -> [Management] to check the current setting. But please refer to Insights Best Practices - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs before you modify the level.
Thanks for the hint. I imagine that's linked to "Max concurrent queries" in the Insights Management tab indeed.
Our dashboard has 10s of widgets, so that's probably going to be that many concurrent queries that we'd need. Looking at the pricing for the various performance levels and the associated throttling limits, we'll probably have to find a way to work around this.
Anyways, thanks for the answer!
