Question

Free trial subscription is not supported for Flex Consumption. Please select a different subscription. Even after upgrade.

Niccolo Abate 30

Even after upgrading the subscription to pay as you go I still get this error when trying to create a flex consumption functions app.

Error: Free trial subscription is not supported for Flex Consumption. Please select a different subscription.

The normal Consumption plan doesn't give this error, but I would like to use Flex Consumption.

Hello Niccolo Abate,

Thanks for your question

Sometime it takes up to 24 hours after upgrade for it to impact some restricted changes, so the solution here may just be to wait

Also check that the Azure region you’re deploying to supports the Flex Consumption plan. Here is the Azure CLI command to check which regions support Flex consumption function apps.

az functionapp list-flexconsumption-locations --output table

Hi Abiola,

Thank you for the response!

It has been at least 24hrs at this point and I am still getting the error.

I checked the table with that command and I have tried multiple valid regions.

A note: I am trying to set up this functions app in a subscription and resource group of another account. I have been added as an owner to the subscription and the resource group. I wouldn't think this would be an issue at all, but I figured I would offer the context.

Any further steps to resolve this?
Thanks!

Hi Praveen,

Thank you for following up!

I was away from my machine over the weekend. It seems that letting things sit for a little while was good though, as it is working now! I didn't change anything on my end, so I guess it just needed additional time to flush out?

Thank you for your help!
