Hi Community,
I'm encountering a consistent issue when trying to enable the pg_cron extension on my Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server running PostgreSQL version 16.9.
Environment Configuration:
pg_cron is listed under allowed values for azure.extensions When I try to enable the pg_cron extension by setting:
az postgres flexible-server parameter set \
--resource-group <my-rg> \
--server-name <my-server> \
--name azure.extensions \
--value pg_cron
I get the following error:
(InternalServerError) An unexpected error occurred while processing the request.
Tracking ID: 'c335c294-2fff-48b1-97df-96a6ab371aec'
error occurs via Azure Portal UI
Azure CLI and Portal both fail.
Rechecked all provisioning constraints.

Can anyone confirm if this issue is still ongoing for PG v16.9 Flexible Server in Central India?
If anyone has had success recently enabling `pg_cron` on PG16+, please share the workaround or steps you followed.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Niket Kumar Singh
Thank you for sharing the details. As discussed, you're unable to enable the extension on one server, while it works successfully on another server with the same configuration.
Kindly please let me know once you get the credentials to connect to the server for further troubleshooting.

Each interaction with you reinforces my confidence in the support I receive. Your professionalism, combined with your genuine willingness to go above and beyond, is a rare and valued quality.

Hello Niket Kumar Singh
Initially, you're unable to enable the extension on one server, while it works successfully on another server with the same configuration.
In further analysis, we attempted to disable and enable the HA of the server due to the storage space full, and you were able to add the extension successfully.
Dear @Saraswathi Devadula
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the outstanding support you provided. Your dedication to resolving the issue with enabling the pg_cron extension on my Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server was truly remarkable.
Even after working hours, you made time to assist me, displaying a level of commitment that not only helped resolve the issue but also significantly eased the stress I was facing. Your approach to troubleshooting—especially the proactive steps you took, such as disabling and enabling High Availability to address storage space—was incredibly effective. It is reassuring to know that, even under tight timelines, my concerns were in such capable hands.
Your dedication is a perfect example of the kind of support that builds trust and confidence. I truly appreciate the effort and expertise you brought to this issue, and it’s moments like these that make me feel assured that I’m in good hands.
