PREMISE:
Server 1: Has an elastic pool
Server 2: No elastic pool (Do NOT want to have an elastic pool)
Original Database:
-- On server 1
-- database is on elastic pool
-- MaxSizeBytes = 34359738368 (32 GB)
TASK:
Trying to create a copy of original database into Server 2 with following properties:
-- S1/Standard tier
-- MaxSizeBytes = 268435456000 (250 GB)
-- CreateMode = "Copy"
-- SourceDatabaseId = Original Database.Body.Id
Performing this using Azure API "BeginCreateOrUpdateWithHttpMessagesAsync()"
ERROR/ISSUE:
"The tier 'Standard' does not support the database max size '34359738368' (32 GB)". This means that it is not updating the MaxSizeBytes on the copy database to 268435456000.
NOTE 1: I am able to create this copy IF I don't set the CreateMode to "Copy" and don't set the SourceDatabaseId. But not setting these values creates an empty copy (without data) which defeats the whole purpose of a copy.
NOTE 2: I do NOT want to have an elastic pool on Server 2, and do NOT want to convert original database to an S1/Standard either.

What are my options and/or workarounds?
