 # Batch service quotas and limits
 
-As with other Azure services, there are limits on certain resources associated with Azure Batch. For example, if your pool doesn't reach your target number of compute nodes, you might have reached the core quota limit for your Batch account. Many limits are default quotas, which Azure applies at the subscription or account level. 
+As with other Azure services, there are limits on certain resources associated with Azure Batch. For example, if your pool doesn't reach your target number of compute nodes, you might have reached the core quota limit for your Batch account. Many limits are default quotas, which Azure applies at the subscription or account level.
 
 Keep these quotas in mind as you design and scale up your Batch workloads. You can run multiple Batch workloads in a single Batch account. Or, you can distribute your workloads among Batch accounts in the same subscription but different Azure regions. If you plan to run production workloads in Batch, you might need to increase one or more of the quotas above the default. To raise a quota, [request a quota increase](#increase-a-quota) at no charge.

By default, data is retained for completed tasks for seven days if the compute node where it ran is still available. Data for tasks not completed within the maximum lifetime isn't accessible. Completed task data retention times are configurable on a per task basis.
