Cannot create network connection resource for dev box; ResourceQuotaExceeded

Question

I am trying to add a network connection resource for Dev Box. I am the owner of the account in question, and I have zero resources of type Network Connection across my entire subscription.

Upon attempting to add a network connection resource, I get the following error:

{
   "code":"DeploymentFailed",
   "message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-deployment-operations for usage details.",
   "details":[{
     "code":"ResourceQuotaExceeded",
     "message":"Creating the resource of type networkconnections would exceed the regional quota limit for this resource type. Delete some resources of this type before creating a new one."
}]}

I have seen previous questions that suggest needing to upgrade their free account to "pay as you go" in order to create dev center or network connection resources. However, I was able to create the dev center before upgrading, and now, even after upgrading, I am still unable to add the network connection.

Answer 1

The error message you received suggests that you have exceeded the regional quota limit for the networkconnections resource type in your Azure subscription. This means that you cannot create any more networkconnections resources until you delete some existing ones.

You can check the current usage and quota limits for your subscription by going to the Azure portal and navigating to the Subscription page. From there, you can view the usage and quota limits for all resource types, including networkconnections.

To request a quota increase, go to the Azure Support page and open a new support ticket. In the ticket, specify the resource type (networkconnections) and the region where you want to increase the quota.
