## How to achieve more TUs
352
+
353
+
> Azure Event Hubs has specific limits on the number of Throughput Units (TUs) that can be assigned to a single Event Hub. As of my last update, the maximum number of TUs for a single Event Hub in the Standard tier is 40. If you need more than 40 TUs, you would need to use multiple Event Hubs or consider other strategies.
