## Title

    [Foundry Agent Service] 429 'session_quota_exceeded' vs 'regional_session_quota_exceeded'

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Agent Service enforces a per-resource session quota and a regional session quota; they need different handling.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Misleading approaches:
    - Treating both codes as TPM/RPM model rate limits: session quota is separate from model deployment quotas.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - regional_session_quota_exceeded
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-ai-docs/d9568cdc285118df903f65aa86303d075cc5c1d1/articles/foundry/agents/concepts/limits-quotas-regions.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Troubleshooting: distinct actions for session_quota_exceeded and regional_session_quota_exceeded 429s.
    
    Search phrasings: foundry agent 429 session_quota_exceeded; regional_session_quota_exceeded foundry agents
