Determine Cosmos DB Autoscale Minimum Throughput

You work as a Database Developer for MDFT Pro, a well-known training agency that delivers certification courses to students worldwide. Mark, the Data Platform Manager, has asked you to provision an Azure Cosmos DB container to store student enrollment records for a new web application. The application experiences variable load patterns—high traffic during course registration periods and exam seasons, but lower usage during holidays and off-peak hours. To optimize costs while maintaining performance, Mark decided to configure autoscale throughput instead of manual provisioning. You’ve created the container using PowerShell with the following configuration:

$resourceGroupName = "StudentResourceGroup"
$accountName = "MDFTProCosmosAccount"
$databaseName = "EnrollmentDatabase"
$containerName = "StudentEnrollments"
$partitionKeyPath = "/StudentId"
$autoscaleMaxThroughput = 5000
New-AzCosmosDBSqlContainer
	-ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName
	-AccountName $accountName
	-DatabaseName $databaseName
	-Name $containerName
	-PartitionKeyKind Hash
	-PartitionKeyPath $partitionKeyPath
	-AutoscaleMaxThroughput $autoscaleMaxThroughput

Is the following statement about the container configuration true?

Statement: The minimum throughput for the container is 400 RUs.
