Training Sandbox returns strange error when trying to create an Azure virtual machine from lesson

Question

Able to access the sandbox but when I do the first Task in the lesson https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/describe-azure-compute-networking-services/3-exercise-create-azure-virtual-machine
Running the command:
az vm create --resource-group "learn-29bfc9a1-7e0e-4aea-9aa7-38a2bcc5d01b" --name my-vm --public-ip-sku Standard --image Ubuntu2204 --admin-username azureuser --generate-ssh-keys

I get the following error.

The detailed error I get is as follows:

{"status":"Failed","error":{"code":"DeploymentFailed","target":"/subscriptions/63fb4ccd-8431-455e-81bc-f7242ec2650c/resourceGroups/learn-29bfc9a1-7e0e-4aea-9aa7-38a2bcc5d01b/providers/Microsoft.Resources/deployments/vm_deploy_Nz2CyCa61KCqPDjRaMGXRnaMZsAXY9nT","message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed.

Please see https://aka.ms/arm-deployment-operations for usage details.","details":[{"code":"ResourceDeploymentFailure","target":"/subscriptions/63fb4ccd-8431-455e-81bc-f7242ec2650c/resourceGroups/learn-29bfc9a1-7e0e-4aea-9aa7-38a2bcc5d01b/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/my-vm","message":"The resource write operation failed to complete successfully, because it reached terminal provisioning state 'Failed'.","details":[{"code":"AllocationFailed","message":"Allocation failed. We do not have sufficient capacity for the requested VM size in this region. Read more about improving likelihood of allocation success at http://aka.ms/allocation-guidance\nPlease try alternative sizes 'Standard_DS2_v2', 'Standard_DS11_v2', or 'Standard_F2s_v2' instead for higher likelihood of success."}]}]}}

Is this something I am doing wrong of is there an issue with my sandbox as I had a previous issue https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1811160/stuck-at-configuring-cloud-shell-for-sandbox-acces

Also tried using method for copy and paste from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1533946/unable-to-complete-task-1-create-a-linux-virtual-m but with no success.

Not sure if being in the UK is affecting the region issue.

Thanks for your help
