title: How do I kill connections to Azure SQL database if I can't access it?
body: <p>Today we migrated to AzureSQL V12. Tonight my site is offline, because of a persistent issue with the following message:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Resource ID : 3. The LoginLimit limit for the database is 90 and has been reached. See '<a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=267637" rel="noreferrer">http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=267637</a>' for assistance. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10928)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I've tried the following:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Restarted my web site's server (also tried iisreset and restarting the web app)</li>
  <li>Removed all IP filters in Azure portal (including access from Azure services)</li>
  <li>Upscaled to the next tier in Azure (it is stuck on "In Progress" and not changing, so I guess the connections are preventing the upscale)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I can't connect to my database via SSMS. I get the same error message. This has lasted for hours now, and my site is completely offline, yet the number of logins is not changing.</p>
  
  <p>I need some way to disconnect some of these connections so I can get on and diagnose what the issue might be.</p>
