When you index documents with vector fields, Azure AI Search constructs internal vector indexes using the algorithm parameters you provide. The size of these vector indexes is restricted by the memory reserved for vector search for your service's tier (or `SKU`).
-The service enforces a vector index size quota **for every partition** in your search service. Each extra partition increases the available vector index size quota. This quota is a hard limit to ensure your service remains healthy, which means that further indexing attempts once the limit is exceeded results in failure. You can resume indexing once you free up available quota by either deleting some vector documents or by scaling up in partitions.
