You can make further settings under Advanced options, including the maximum number of tokens per minute. This determines the maximum processing rate of the model. The higher the number of tokens, the more requests per minute the model can process. The preset number of tokens should be sufficient for common requirements.
You can find more information about tokens and the available quotas on the Microsoft website.
