 Azure Artifacts is a highly scalable package management solution that enables developers to create, host, and share different types of packages. In this article, we will cover the size and count limits that developers should be aware of when using Azure Artifacts. Some of these limits are imposed by the client tools that Azure Artifacts integrates with (example nuget.exe).

-Azure Artifacts enables developers to efficiently manage all their dependencies from one place. With Azure Artifacts, developers can publish packages to their feeds and share them within their team, across organizations, and even publicly across the internet. Azure Artifacts also allows developers to consume packages from different feeds and public registries such as NuGet.org or npmjs.com. Azure Artifacts supports the following package types: NuGet, npm, Python, Maven, Cargo, and Universal Packages.

+#### Q: What are the implications if I remove my Azure Subscription from my Azure DevOps organization?
 
 A: When you remove your Azure Subscription from your Azure DevOps organization, your access is limited to the free tier. If your storage usage exceeds 2 GiB, you retain read-only access to packages. To publish new packages, you must reduce your storage usage below 2 GiB. Alternatively, you can reconnect an Azure subscription to your organization and set up billing to increase your storage tier.

+#### Q: How much time does it typically take for the removal of Artifacts to be reflected in the billed storage amount?
 
-A: Deletion of artifacts may not be immediately reflected in the system. Storage consumption updates are typically completed within 24 hours, but in some instances, it may take up to 48 hours. If you encounter obstacles in uploading artifacts, a temporary workaround is to increase your usage level then reduce it once storage metrics are updated.

 The **Used** column on the Billing page of your Organization is updated once a day. When you delete an Artifact, it might not be reflected immediately on your billing page. However, the Artifact Storage page is updated more frequently, so you might see a small discrepancy between the two pages.
