* When a physical partition **p** reaches its storage limit, Azure Cosmos DB seamlessly splits **p** into two new physical partitions, **p1** and **p2**. It distributes values corresponding to roughly half of the keys to each of the new physical partitions. This split operation is completely invisible to your application. If a physical partition reaches its storage limit and all of the data in the physical partition belongs to the same logical partition key, the split operation does not occur. This is because all the data for a single logical partition key must reside in the same physical partition. In this case, a different partition key strategy should be employed.
