Azure SignalR Message Quota

[mark-at-tusksoft]

I am on the Blazor-server model. The blog post mentions message size limits, but large files (+50MB) will still need a large quantity of messages, won't they?

I ran into the quota limit on the free tier really fast after trying to upload ~70MB worth of files in total. The Azure SignalR service pricing makes it extremely cost prohibitive to be sending several thousand messages per several-megabyte upload. Should there be a big disclaimer in the blog or am I just doing something wrong and this many messages should not be in-flight with this component?
