When you move from the Developer tier to the Basic tier in Azure API Management, you will have access to technical support, including the ability to raise support tickets. The Basic tier is designed for development and testing scenarios and is supported with a Service Level Agreement (SLA), which typically includes support options for issues like downtime.
However, it's important to note that if you are scaling from or to the Developer tier, there will be downtime during that transition. Once you are on the Basic tier, you should be able to raise technical support tickets as needed.
