The pricing tier 'PremiumMV3' is not allowed in this resource group

Question

I am looking to upgrade some Windows Service Plans from P1v3 to P1mv3, or create new service plans on this tier, while keeping them on the same resource group and region as our entire environment

However, I am receiving an error through UI/Portal and API/Terraform:
performing CreateOrUpdate: unexpected status 409 with response: {"Code":"Conflict","Message":"The pricing tier 'PremiumMV3' is not allowed in this resource group. Use this link to learn more: https://aka.ms/app-service-plan-scale-not-allowed

I have observed the following scenarios while creating the Service Plan:

• New Resource Group / Same Region (USEAST2) / Windows = Success
• Same Resource Group / Same Region (USEAST2) / Linux = Success
• Same Resource Group / Same Region (USEAST2) / Windows = Fail (My Goal) - Yellow
• Same Resource Group / Another Region (USEAST) / Windows = *Success - Green

These are the Service Plans I have on this resource group:*

Any suggestion or way that I can create or upgrade this service plan?

Hi Richard,

Unfortunately you cannot switch to Pxmv3 Windows SKU in your same resource group and region combination. The reason is, the underlying webspace (aka Deployment Unit) doesn't support it. If you want them all in same resource group and region you would need to redeploy all to a new resource group.

Scale up from an unsupported resource group and region combination
