Q12 Event Hubs Domain 3 · 20–25% of exam Priority · Real Exam

A consumer is throttled and lagging. Metrics show high incoming bytes and throttled requests. What is the correct first remedy?

  1. A Add consumer groups
  2. B Increase throughput units (or enable auto-inflate) (correct answer)
  3. C Reduce the retention period
  4. D Add more event hubs

Shortcut: Throttling means the ingress/egress allowance of the provisioned throughput units is exhausted. Adding consumer groups does not add capacity; more TUs do.
