So I have this problem with an Azure Function.
It's triggered by a Service Bus queue.
The normal flow would be:
1. Message gets posted on the queue.
2. Function picks up the message and start processing.
3a. If message is released before Function exits, Function auto-renews lock.
3b. Repeat a until Function exits.
4. Function exits and marks the message as completed.
5. Message is removed from the queue.
What happens:
1. Message gets posted on the queue.
2. Function picks up the message and start processing.
3. Function does not auto-renew lock and message gets processed again.
4. Function exits, but does not remove message from queue.
5. Message is ultimately moved to dead-letter queue.
Apparently, the problem is that when a Function's CPU's usage goes above 90%, it starts acting weird (which is mentioned nowhere) 
The CPU, over which I have zero control, is the problem.
It doesn't throw an error, it just runs correctly and acts weird in the background.
Now Microsoft wants me to update to a plan that's $150 a month (from a few bucks now) for a process that runs less than five minutes a day 
Just limit CPU usage and double the time my Function runs

Can you limit it yourself? Make your code less demanding at a time? Maybe spin off a task on a low priority thread, or sleep it periodically or something?

I'm not sure how to make my code less demanding.
It's just a foreach with some 4000 records, that I put in an Excel file (ultimately a huge XML string).
I'm using Spreadsheetlight for this.
I'm not multi-threading or anything, for as far as I know (I don't even think Spreadsheetlight is thread-safe).
I could use a Thread.Sleep, I guess, but it also need to finish in 10 minutes max because of the Azure Functions limitations.
The task as a whole only takes about three minutes right now (and runs to completion, which is why it's even weirder it still fails).

Try putting some thread.sleep nonsense in your loop?

YES!!! THIS FIXED THE ISSUE!!! 
I already did some googling, you were just a few minutes late.
This is the first time in my career I found a valid use case for Thread.Sleep (although, valid? ).
I didn't even know it could do this.
You learn something new every day I guess 
Just a few milliseconds did the trick for my test to work.
I can monitor CPU usage and it seems to stay at around 20%.
Now let's see if it survives a production environment...

Good luck!

Oh boy, that gives me confidence in Azure. Maybe it's a Microsoft feature that they have a well known history for....?

That's a bit like saying "my computer froze this one time and now I don't have confidence in computers anymore."
Although this does limit my confidence in Azure Functions a bit

I've been thrown into the deep end to learn Google's People API. It seems that 99% of the documentation is Google's, which isn't as complete as I figured it would be.
Are the any other resources that I can look into? I need entry level docs.
Thanks

I'm working on an app that uses it and it's giving us trouble with oAuth & scopes, so I'm looking for a resources outside of what Google prodvides.

My experience from trying to get an app into the store a few years ago has convinced me that the same so terrible the incompetence has to be deliberate group of ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing ![Sunshine | [little ray of sunshine]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/sunshine.gif) s guilty of what passes for customer service from google are also responsible for making sure that not only are all of their developer docs badly written on upload, but that less than 20% of the out of date documents are updated each time the development team gets bored and deploys breaking changes for the lulz.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

When you say the Google documentation isn't complete I assume you have looked at the developer site as follows:-
Reference
https://developers.google.com/people/api/rest?hl=en
The Top Menu also has links to Guides, Samples and Support (seems reasonable comprehensive)
I was logged in with my Google developer account I don't know if that's a requirement for access, but if you can't access just register and create a developer account.

Recently a cargo ship with thousands of expensive cars sank and the treehuggers are howling now about the environmental hazard posed by the cars. Am I stupid or are they? Whatever fuel may be left in the cars, it's a joke against the fuel oil in a wreck of this size. And does that not also go for every sunken ship, and not only for one loaded with cars?

Certainly a lack of perspective, not necessarily stupidity. On their part, not yours.

You are right. It also could be an outstanding work of journalism to bring us the homogenized, pasteurized and politically correct message. Cars bad. Expensive cars even worse. Sunken ship no big deal.
