ERROR:

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.

    The region’s Microsoft.Web VM quota is 0, so the App Service Plan cannot be created until that quota is increased.

    The error indicates that the subscription has a Total VMs quota of 0 in that region, so creating the App Service plan (which consumes VM quota behind the scenes) fails. The deployment will only succeed after increasing the VM quota for that subscription and region.

    To resolve it, request a quota increase for that region:

    1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
    2. Go to Support + troubleshooting and search for support.
    3. Create a new support request with:
      • Issue type: Service and subscription limits (quotas)
      • Subscription: the one used for the deployment
      • Quota type: choose the relevant compute/App Service or VM quota type for that region (the error shows Total VMs).
    4. On the Additional details tab, open Enter details and in Quota details:
      • Select the Region where the deployment is failing.
      • Select the appropriate Quota type.
      • Set the New total limit (at least 1, but typically higher to allow scaling).
      • Add any Additional information if needed.
    5. Complete Advanced diagnostic information, Support method, and Contact information, then submit the request.

    After Microsoft processes the quota increase and the new limit is visible for that region, rerun the Bicep deployment. If deployments in multiple regions or with scaling are planned, request a higher limit than the minimum shown in the error.

    If the quota increase cannot be granted for that subscription/region, deploy the App Service plan in a different region where sufficient quota is available.
