Azure: How to increase subscription read throttling limits per hour

Hello!
Recently we've faced an exception with Status code 429 saying "TooManyRequests" and the message: "The request is being throttled as the limit has been reached for operation type - Read_PerHour.". As far as the documentation highlights, this is because the limit of 12,000 read operations was exceeded for a subscription per hour, and thus the request was throttled.
We would like to increase the limit of read-requests for a subscription.
When I go to subscription -> Usage+quotas -> Increase request I am not sure what kind of quota type should be chosen in this situation?

Will be grateful for any piece of advice!

    There is not a field for requesting API quota increases, as this is not something that is hit very often and I would expect there needs to be some discussion about why you are hitting this limit. I would recommend you create a quote request using the "other limits" category.

    Your going to want to look at why you are hitting that quota, as that is a very high amount of requests to be sending to the API.
