[Subscription quota metrics](azure-netapp-files-metrics.md#subscription-quota-metrics) display subscription-level quotas relative to the imposed [resource limits](azure-netapp-files-resource-limits.md) within your subscription. These metrics are displayed in two columns: the current limit (Current) and the consumption by your subscription (Used). These metrics enable you to proactively monitor and increase these limits via support request when needed. The used column includes the following consumed metrics:

*[Flexible service level](azure-netapp-files-set-up-capacity-pool.md) (preview)
33
-
34
-
The [Flexible service level](azure-netapp-files-service-levels.md) allows you to independently configure storage capacity and throughput, optimizing costs by right-sizing according to storage and performance requirements. With separate pricing for capacity and throughput, the Flexible service level prevents overprovisioning and supports up to 640 MiB/second per TiB. This throughput is five times the performance of the Ultra service level, making it ideal for demanding workloads and offering higher throughput for smaller capacity pools and adapting to changing requirements without the need for volume moves.
35
-
36
-
The Flexible service level is only supported with _new_ manual QoS capacity pools. The Flexible service level offers a minimum throughput of 128 MiB/s and a maximum of 640 MiB/s per TiB [per pool](azure-netapp-files-service-levels.md#flexible-service-level-throughput-examples). This new service level is suitable for applications such as Oracle or SAP HANA and for creating high-capacity volumes with low throughput needs. You can adjust throughput and size limits independently, ensuring flexibility and precise scaling to meet your price-performance requirements.
