Cannot create Free or Basic App Service Plan in Azure - how do I adjust quotas

Question

I am trying to create a free or basic App Service in East US or East US2. I am on a pay as you go plan. I have absolutely done this in the past.

Currently, when I try to manually create a Free/Basic/Standard ASP, I get the message below. I appear to be able to create a Premium Plan ASP which is way overkill for my testing.

I cannot find ASP in the quota section of my Subscription, so I have no idea how to request an increate to 1.

{"code":"InvalidTemplateDeployment","message":"The template deployment 'Microsoft.Web-ASP-Portal-78bbbd35-a7c8' is not valid according to the validation procedure. The tracking id is '83358b65-81b4-4bbb-ae83-88e4e6c3f241'. See inner errors for details.","details":[{"code":"ValidationForResourceFailed","message":"Validation failed for a resource. Check 'Error.Details[0]' for more information.","details":[{"code":"SubscriptionIsOverQuotaForSku","message":"This region has quota of 0 instances for your subscription. Try selecting different region or SKU."}]}]}

Cannot create Free or Basic App Service Plan in Azure - how do I adjust quotas

Solution:

after seeing some responses to my question on Reddit, I believe this is actually a resource limit reached within the region and nothing to do with a quota in my particular subscription.

Someone had suggested that once my region reached the max number of instances for a resource, no more are allowed. Unfortunately, the error message that MS provide is a bit misleading and talks about subscription quotas.

To test this theory, I tried to create a free App Service Plan and was able to create it successfully and I have not adjusted any quotas for my subscription.

Hopefully MS can improve this error message to say the resource issue is region specific and to try another region or try again later when resources are opened up. I do not believe altering quotes on my subscription would have fixed anything.

Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

This is attributed to specific regional quotas or capacity constraints.

Go to Usage + quotas to review your current resource limits and usage.

Find the quota for the desired resource in your region, you’ll need to request an increase.

To request an increase, see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/troubleshooting/error-resource-quota

You may need to create a quota request
