Issue Creating App Service Plans (quota and resource provider enabled)

Hello, I'm receiving the following error when creating App Service Plans. I've tried multiple regions and SKUs. I'm on Visual Studio Professional Subscription. I have Microsoft.Compute resource provider registered.

Operation cannot be completed without additional quota. Additional details - Location: Current Limit (Total VMs): 0 Current Usage: 0 Amount required for this deployment (Total VMs): 1 (Minimum) New Limit that you should request to enable this deployment: 1. Note that if you experience multiple scaling operations failing (in addition to this one) and need to accommodate the aggregate quota requirements of these operations, you will need to request a higher quota limit than the one currently displayed. (Code: SubscriptionIsOverQuotaForSku)

When checking my Quotas, Total Regional vCPUs is 0 of 20 for all, meaning I have available quote. Why is this issue happening and how do I fix it?image

This is likely not your Microsoft.Compute vCPU quota.

App Service Plans use Microsoft.Web / App Service quota, and Azure may surface it as “Total VMs” because an App Service Plan consumes an App Service worker instance behind the scenes. Your “Total Regional vCPUs 0 of 20” only tells you Compute VM quota is available, not App Service Plan SKU quota. Microsoft’s quota docs separate service-specific quotas, and App Service quota requests are handled separately from Compute vCPU quotas.

For a Visual Studio Professional Subscription, this can happen because dev/test credit subscriptions may have 0 quota for certain App Service SKUs/regions until enabled or increased. The subscription includes Azure credit and can be used for Web Apps, but it is still subject to service/region/SKU quotas.

Possible Fix

  1. Go to Azure Portal → Subscriptions → your Visual Studio Professional subscription
  2. Open Usage + quotas
  3. Change Provider from Microsoft.Compute to App Service / Microsoft.Web
  4. Filter by the region and SKU family you are trying to create, such as:
  • F1 / Free
  • B1 / Basic
    • S1 / Standard
    • P0v3 / P1v3 / Premium
  1. Request quota increase from 0 to at least 1
  2. Retry deployment after approval

Microsoft Q&A guidance for this exact App Service error recommends using the App Service quota self-service experience or opening a quota/support request for the specific App Service SKU and region.

Why multiple regions/SKUs failed

Quota is often enforced by service + region + SKU family, so you may have Compute quota everywhere but App Service worker quota = 0 for the plans you’re testing. Request the quota for the exact SKU/region, or try a low-cost SKU in another region after checking App Service quotas, not Compute.

Practical recommendation

Request App Service Plan quota = 1 or 2 for your preferred region and SKU. For Visual Studio credit subscriptions, I’d start with B1 or S1 rather than Premium unless you specifically need Premium features.

Hi Ethan,

In Azure portal, please navigate to Quotas using link below:

https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Capacity/QuotaMenuBlade/~/overview

Next, please click on App Service (Public Preview).

At the top, click on the Region filter, change it so that the region you want (e.g. East US) is selected.

At the bottom you should see your current App Service quotas and usage. On right, click on pencil (or person) icon next to the quota you would like to increase, for example, F1 VMs if you would like Free SKU, P0v4 for Premium P0v4, etc. Fill out the details on New Quota Request panel on right and click Submit.

Assuming your request is approved you can try deploying your app service again.

Please click Accept Answer and upvote if the above was helpful.

Thanks.

    Hi @Ethan Edwards

    Thanks for reaching out and providing the error details along with the quota screenshot. This is a very common issue on Visual Studio subscriptions.

    Even though your Total Regional vCPUs quota shows 0/20 (with headroom), App Service uses its own separate quota category called Total Regional VMs (and specific SKU quotas) under the Microsoft.Web resource provider. These often start at 0 in new or lightly used regions, which is exactly what’s triggering the SubscriptionIsOverQuotaForSku error.

    Quick Solution:

    1. . Go to the following link to begin:

    https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Support

    2. Type "quota" in the search box and click Go. 

    3. Choose Others / Service and subscription limits (quotas) and click Next.

    Select your subscription. For Problem type, pick Function or Web App (Windows and Linux) and click Next.

    4. Click the Create a support request button.

    5. For Issue type, select Service and subscription limits (quotas), then choose your Subscription, set Quota type to Function or Web App (Windows and Linux), and click Next.

    6. On the Additional details tab, click Enter details.

    7. Select the Region, App Service plan SKU, and set the new worker VMs limit, then click Save and continue.

    8. Complete the Additional details tab, click Next, review your information, and click Create. You should get an automated email shortly.
