Hello,
I am trying to deploy an Azure DocumentDB free tier for testing migration out of MongoDB. However, when attempting to deploy, I consistently get this error:
`
Operation could not be completed as it results in exceeding approved Total Regional Cores quota. Additional details, Location: westus2, Subscription: ---, Current Limit: 0, Current Usage: 0, Additional Required: 1, (Minimum) New Limit Required: 1. Please open a support ticket. (Code: bad_request)
`
Checking my quotas for the region, I do not have a quota with the exact name "Total Regional Cores", and checking the closest quota to it (Total Regional vCPUs), I have more than enough. What could be causing this issue?

It appears you are encountering a quota issue while deploying your Azure DocumentDB free tier. The error suggests that your subscription’s limit for Total Regional Cores is currently set to 0, preventing resource provisioning.
Here are a few steps to consider:
- Check Regional Quota Limits: Even if you verified Total Regional vCPUs, the error points to Total Regional Cores. Confirm your subscription’s core limits in the Azure portal under Usage + quotas.
- Free Tier Restrictions: Ensure you haven’t already created a free tier account in this subscription. Use Azure CLI to check for existing free tier accounts.
- Request a Quota Increase: If limits are too low, submit a quota increase request via the Usage + quotas page in the Azure portal.
- Try a Different Region: If increasing the quota doesn’t resolve the issue, consider deploying in another region with available capacity.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance.
