Azure account maximum capacity varies.

Question

I see that Azure initially provided 100TB per account. After 8 June 2012 they have increased the account capacity to 200TB for accounts created after the specified
date. <o:p></o:p>
Also the capacity storage schema in the msdn website indicates that only capacity used by the account is stored using statistics.
<o:p>There is API to query for used account capacity.</o:p>
If as a user I create azure accounts over the years, how do I query for the total capacity of my accounts if I hold multiple accounts whose total
capacity may be different depending on when I created it. I need this info to determine how much capacity is left in each of the accounts I hold.
So how do I query the maximum capacity of my accounts from Azure ? 
Is there an API for query the maximum capacity of an Azure account ?

Hi,
Base on my experience, it may have not the method directly get the how much capacity is left in the accounts. But we could use the compromised approach. We could get the blob storage and table storage usage capacity.
Please see this blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2011/08/03/windows-azure-storage-metrics-using-metrics-to-track-storage-usage.aspx?Redirected=true
) and this docs (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/hh343258.aspx). And I suggest you could refer to Gaurav Mantri's reply (http://stackoverflow.com/a/17058225
) and this powershell code sample (http://www.amido.co.uk/richard-slater/windows-azure-storage-capacity-metrics-with-powershell/ &

Hope it helps.
