I would like to receive an email if I approach limits on a resource in Azure. Is there a way to sign up for notifications of this kind?
I considered using Azure alerts. It seems you can trigger alerts from metrics or azure logs, but I couldn't figure out how to trigger action on anything related to resource limits.
It is possible. You could do it on Azure account manage Portal. When you reach the limit, you will receive e-mail.
Please refer to this link:Set up billing or credit alerts for your Microsoft Azure subscriptions
You should ensure Billing Alert Service is active.
Note: You should be Account Admin for your Azure subscription.
You could check the similar question.
No readymade Alerts on resource quotas.
Brilliant article by Tom will help you to configure such tailored alerts, using OMS Log analytics.
Get Alerts as you approach your Azure resource quotas
Azure PowerShell includes the cmdlets Get-AzureRmVMUsage and Get-AzureRmStorageUsage which will report your current usage and quotas for a range of different resource types
Also You can utilize Azure billing alert service:

I have two subscriptions Pay-As-You-Go & Azure subscriptions on my profile. What is the difference and do I need to use both? Or what is the best way for this?
There is no subscription named as Azure subscription. See the list of Azure offers for
details.
In the Azure portal click on 'All services' > subscription tab you will see the subscriptions you've access to.
Also, refer to this link - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Azure/Understanding-Azure-Account-Subscription-and-Directory/m-p/34800 to understand Azure account, subscription, Azure AD and Resource groups briefly explained by Daniel Martins.
Hope that helps!
I am new to Azure and have been going through various tutorials.
I am looking specifically at Azure Monitoring using REST APIs.
What I am trying to do is get the status of various resources like Virtual Networks, AD, Load Balancers etc on a custom dashboard using REST APIs.
I have found some list of REST APIs that allow monitoring here(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/monitor/)
But do they provide Resource health and Status.Also, do i have a create a new Service API Managament Resource(which is a paid resource) in the Azure Account for these APIs to run?.
Please let me know if you have any insights or reference materials on this
I don't think rest API is good for monitoring. I will suggest use Azure Monitor service under that you can use Azure resource metrics, Activity logs and service health. based on these metrics and logs you can set alert and show live data on the dashboard.
We are using Microsoft OMS for live monitoring (visualization of data) and Email/SMS for notification.

subscription?
You could check it on Azure Portal. <your subscription>-->Usage + quotas.
If you reach your subscription limit, you could create a ticket to raise the limit, please refer to this link.
Also, you need check your user's role, if you want to create resources in Azure, I suggest you select Owner or Contributor role. Please refer to this link.
Note: In this link I provide, the application name is your user name.

We got a test subscription in Azure from our school.
Unfortunately I managed to disable my student subscription in Azure. Does anyone know how I can get it back?
From article from below link, i think you will have to contact azure support
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/billing-subscription-become-disable/
The Azure subscription is cancelled
To reactivate a subscription, you must create a support ticket. To
create a support ticket to re-enable an Azure subscription see the
article How to Create a Support Ticket for Azure Billing and
Subscription Issues.
