Cannot restart Azure Function App

Question

My Azure function app on the consumption plan has reached the quota that I set, so naturally it is automatically disabled until the next 24 hour period.

So I increased the quota to double the amount. However, the app is still unable to restart. The restart button is also grayed out. In the old Function App dashboard, it was much easier to restart. However, now I can't figure out how to restart the app.

When I browse to the site, it gives a 403 error. I also can't republish the function app from visual studio - same forbidden error. Please help, why is this new UI so difficult?

@Alienator You can leverage the management API endpoints to start and stop the app:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/appservice/webapps/start
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/appservice/webapps/stop
You can use HTTP client to make an API call to the endpoints mentioned in the document. You may need to pass an authorization token for validation , for that please refer to this
