Unable to create function app due to error "The pricing tier 'FlexConsumption' is not allowed in this resource group"

Question

I am trying to create an Azure Function using Flex Consumption plan but I keep getting the following error:

The pricing tier 'FlexConsumption' is not allowed in this resource group. Use this link to learn more: https://aka.ms/app-service-plan-scale-not-allowed

I have tried creating the app in a new resource group but I get the same error message.

I have other existing function apps in other resource groups using Flex Consumption.

From the documentation it is unclear what the actual limitations are for Flex Consumption. I understand only one app per app service is allowed, and also there is a limit on total resources with a total of 512,000 MB per subscription per region, but the total memory of the functions already deployed plus the new plan do not exceed the maximum allowed.

I am trying to deploy to Central US which is in the list of supported regions.

Hi Jose Quintero,  

Thank you for your time and for providing a detailed explanation of the issue you encountered. After retrying to create the function app in the same resource group, the issue was resolved without any changes to the configuration.

For your reference, please go through this following documentation:
