Azure Cosmos DB - Unlimited Space or Not?

Viewed 914

Setting up our first instance of Cosmos DB, we are keenly interested in it's ability to store large amounts of data. When setting up a collection, I have the option of 10GB or Unlimited. I choose Unlimited. However, when I begin to explore the collection, it says my data max is 100GB. This is very confusing. I'm going to be importing a SQL Server database that is over 500GB in size and which we expect to grow to 1TB in less than a year. So that "Unlimited" size is what we need.

How do I actually get Unlimited and why does it let me select it when setting up the collection if it's not truly available to me?

EDIT: I would just like to clarify something: Microsoft very explicitly instructs Azure customers to post any questions about Azure services either here on Stack Overflow with Azure tagging, or to their Twitter support. I don't have Twitter, so here I am, plus, it's always great to get help from others outside of Microsoft who have the experience. For those of you who downvoted this because you think it's a question that should be directed to MS support and not here, educate yourselves. Then find yourselves a life outside of being Stack Overflow elitists who like to hop from page to page "teaching us low-rep newbies a lesson." To the other 99% of you who are always very helpful - Thank you. Thank you very sincerely. I hope I can one day return the favor. End rant.
