In previes health showing same issue. Can anyone explain why this resource health is showing as "We are currently unable to determine the health of this virtual machine and This virtual machine has been preempted, This low-priority virtual machine is being stopped and deallocated"

Hi @Stella,

Thanks for contacting Microsoft Q&A platform.

I understand you have some queries around why your low-priority VM is being preempted. To start with, low priority VMs are effectively discounted VMs that are allocated from the unused capacity of Azure VMs in a particular region, to anyone who requests for it. They are heavily discounted and available to run workloads running in Batch.
