Keep getting SKU not avilable despite az vm list-skus lists no restrictions

I'm using Visual Studio MSDN License subscription I got from my employer. I'm trying to start a SPOT Standard_D4s_v4 VM in northeurope location. Command az vm list-skus --location northeurope --size Standard_D4 --all --output table lists no restriction however I'm still getting validation error:

The requested size for resource '/subscriptions/<subscription-id>/resourceGroups/TestDevopsDeploy/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/<vm-name>' is currently not available in location 'northeurope' zones '' for subscription <subscription-id>

I've also tried in other locations with the same result.

Just wondering whether this is caused by some settings on my subscription?

    Hello @Antonin Jelinek (CZ) ,
    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.
    Probably that VM is not available for your subscription under SPOT instances. Did you try by un-checking the SPOT instance flag ? Also try deploying the same SKU by removing zones.

    What is the error Key code you were getting ?
    As per the document , search for the error key codes here : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/error-codes-spot
    Check out the SPOT VM limitations: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/spot-vms

    Regards,
    Shiva.
