Cannot create spot instance - This size does not support azure Spot

I'm trying to create a new spot instance, but apparently no VM sizes are available for spot. This has never been an issue before. The region is EU West.

My Spot quota has 12 CPUs left, so that's not the issue.

Anyone have the same problem with spot instances?

    The problem is now being admitted by Azure support. They are working to fix it.
    I am actually able to see spot instances again and spin them up. Go ahead and try it now,

    I have the exact same problem! I have used Azure spot so many times in the past but I can't seem to find a single available instance today.
    I literally checked all Azure regions around the world and all of them came up empty. That cannot be right. Looks like a glitch?
    I opened a support ticket as well to see what they have to say.
    Hope this resolves quick.

    After requesting so many support tickets, did anyone's subscription get disabled due to "security reasons"? Mine did and I cannot seem to reactivate it.
