I have an Azure App plan in Switzerland North region, sized Premium v3 P1v3. After some load, we reached the memory limit, but CPU never really cross the 20%. So when I decided to scale up, I went for Premium v3 P1mv3 sku. When I try to scale to Premium v3 P1mv3, I get an error message, that I need to increase quota for that, however I can easily upscale to Premium v3 P2v3, also none of our quota limits are reached in that subscription.
Why is it not possible to use that sku, since it's offered?

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

    Not all Azure regions support Premium V3 SKUs. To confirm availability in Switzerland North, use the Azure CLI:

    az appservice list-locations --sku $sku

    To verify your quotas and request, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/quotas/view-quotas

    Request a quota increase in the Azure portal. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/quotas/quickstart-increase-quota-portal

    If your subscription doesn’t currently support Premium v3 P1mv3 SKUs in the desired region, you can request a quota increase in the Usage + quotas section, select Request increase.

    The Premium V3 feature requires the site to run on the newest hardware infrastructure.

    To scale up an App Service Plan to Premium V3, the Web App must be running in an App Service deployment that supports Premium V3.

    For more information, see Scale up from an unsupported resource group and region combination.

    Hi Tamás Sztankó,

    Thanks for the detail, the error means the selected SKU (like P1mv3) requires a quota increase in that region.

    you can give a request from the below screen, you will find it under your subscription or from the below steps.
