You can also follow the below steps using Azure portal web based

Here are the steps:

1. Log in to the Azure portal and navigate to the machine group for which you have enabled Maintenance Mode.

4. You will be prompted to confirm that you want to disable Maintenance Mode. Click "Yes" to confirm.
5. After a few moments, Maintenance Mode will be disabled for the selected machine group.

Once Maintenance Mode is disabled, the machines in the group will no longer be excluded from automatic updates or be rebooted during scheduled maintenance windows. They will resume their normal update and reboot behavior according to the update policy applied to the machine group.

Hello ez1138

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

You can do this from Azure Portal, CLI & PowerShell.

With Azure CLI by using the command az maintenance configuration delete and Azure PowerShell by using the command Remove-AzMaintenanceConfiguration you can disable maintenance mode for a machine group in Azure.

From Azure Portal, by going to the details page of the maintenance configuration, clicking on Machines, and then clicking on the Disable button.

Hope this helps.
