סופר משכנתא hi & thanks for join me here at Q&A portal,

I guess it is not a normal auth issue. Forbidden: resource temporarily blocked because unusual behavior means Azure OpenAI / Foundry blocked the resource or subscription after detecting risky/abnormal usage. u cant unblock it from portal, CLI, or by changing keys. open Azure Support under Foundry Models / Azure OpenAI and request a block review. Include subscription ID, resource name, region, deployment/model, timestamps, request IDs, and any recent workload changes. Stop retry storms or automated traffic meanwhile, because that can make it worse. tl dr only Microsoft support can review/unblock it.

rgds,

Alex

Hello @סופר משכנתא

We got reply from the backend team,

The HTTP 403 error you are seeing with the message about unusual behaviour is because your Azure OpenAI resource has been temporarily blocked by the platform’s abuse detection system. This is an intentional Trust and Safety action and not due to a service outage or platform bug.

This kind of block can happen when the system detects patterns that look unusual, such as repeated requests, high frequency calls, or activity that may trigger safety or policy checks. From the platform side, this is expected behavior and is done to protect the service.

At this stage, there is no configuration change or troubleshooting step that can unblock the resource directly from the service side. The correct way forward is to request a review through the abuse mitigation process.

What you can do now is:

Submit an appeal through the Azure OpenAI abuse or mitigation request process
Provide your subscription details and resource name
Share a brief explanation of your usage scenario so the team can review and validate it

Once submitted, the relevant team will review your case and take appropriate action if the block was applied in error.

Here is the form Limited Access Review: Modified Abuse Monitoring

In short, this is not a technical issue in your setup but a safety enforcement action, and it requires review through the designated process.

Thank you!
