I created a python azure function with very long name inside function app .
Function name : LongFunctionName1234567890LongFunctionName1234567890LongFunctionName1234567890LongFunctionName1234567890LongFunctionName12345678
When trying to disable the function, I am getting below error : Failed to disable function
Tried multiple times. please support regarding this.
Thanks

Yes smaller function name works. However, if its a limitation then should not function name specification be defined accordingly ?

@Deepak Patel Thanks for getting back. glad to hear that the shorter function name works. You’re absolutely right, it would be helpful if the specification clearly defined the character limit for function names. As per this doc https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-dotnet-class-library?tabs=v4%2Ccmd#methods-recognized-as-functions Each individual function within the app can have a name up to 127 characters long.
please let me know incase of further queries, I would be happy to assist you.
I have converted my comment to answer. Feel free to 'Accept as Answer' and 'Upvote' so it can help other community members facing the similar issue.
In this case character count is 125 so ideally it should work.
@Deepak Patel Thanks for getting back, No it was not 125 Your function name is 128 characters long, which exceeds this limit. Please verify and let me know incase of further queries, I would be happy to assist you.

Please also update on limit for function app name
On the portal , it says function name with more then 100 characters can not be disabled.
@Deepak Patel Thanks for reaching out. The error you’re encountering could be due to the length of your function name. To resolve this issue, could you try renaming your function to something shorter.
