Cannot create any App Service Plan in East US — SubscriptionIsOverQuotaForSku on all SKUs (Visual Studio Professional subscription)

Question

I am unable to create an App Service Plan in the East US region on my Visual Studio Professional subscription. I have tried F1 (Free), B1 (Basic), and S1 (Standard) SKUs and all fail with the same error:

"SubscriptionIsOverQuotaForSku — Operation cannot be completed without additional quota."

I have checked the Quotas page and all relevant quotas appear healthy:

• Regional vCPUs: 0 of 20 used
• Standard BS Family vCPUs: 0 of 20 used
• Basic A Family vCPUs: 0 of 20 used

The Azure diagnostics detector recommends selecting a different region, suggesting this is a region-specific App Service platform quota issue on my subscription, not a VM quota issue.

Could a Microsoft engineer please initialize the App Service quota for East US on this subscription? Thank you.

Hello @Mihail Mikov

Thank you for reaching out Microsoft Q&A. We regret to hear that you're experiencing this problem.

The error "SubscriptionIsOverQuotaForSku" indicates that your Azure subscription has maxed out its quota for the Premium instance SKU in the region where you're deploying.

As suggested by diagnostic detector, you can choose different region. I could see that you want to choose East US region. You can do it by following the below.

As mentioned by community member @TP you can use the link provided and increase the quota.

Hi Mihail,

In Azure portal, please navigate to Quotas using link below:

https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Capacity/QuotaMenuBlade/~/myQuotas

Next, please click on App Service (Public Preview).

At the top, click on the Region filter, change it so that only East US is selected.

At the bottom you should see your current App Service quotas and usage. On right, click on pencil (or person) icon next to the quota you would like to increase, for example, F1 VMs if you would like Free SKU. Fill out the details on New Quota Request panel on right and click Submit.

Please click Accept Answer and upvote if the above was helpful.

Thanks.

Answer 3

The error SubscriptionIsOverQuotaForSku — Operation cannot be completed without additional quota in a specific region indicates an App Service platform quota issue for that subscription in that region, even if vCPU quotas look healthy.

To proceed, use one of these supported options:

1. Try a different region
   • Create the App Service plan in another region (for example, a geographically paired region to East US) as recommended for similar “quota of 0 instances” or region‑specific issues.
   • Paired-region guidance is documented for App Service and Functions when a region has a quota of 0 or persistent creation failures.
2. Request an App Service quota increase for East US
   • Use the App Service quota self-service experience in the Azure portal:
     1. Open the App Service quota self-service experience.
     2. Select the subscription and region (East US).
     3. Review current App Service quotas and limits.
     4. Submit a quota increase request for the relevant App Service plan SKU family in East US.
   • Alternatively, open a support request for a quota increase:
     1. In the Azure portal, go to Subscriptions → select the Visual Studio Professional subscription.
     2. Select Usage + quotas.
     3. Select Request increase.
     4. In the support form, choose the appropriate quota type for App Service in East US and specify the desired limit.
3. If quota APIs report ResourceNotAvailableForSubscription
   • For quota-related errors such as ResourceNotAvailableForSubscription or UnableToIncreaseQuota, the documented resolution is to open a support request in the Azure portal under Service and subscription limits (quotas) so the engineering/support team can adjust or initialize the quota for that subscription and region.

Because this is a subscription‑ and region‑specific platform quota, only Azure support/engineering can initialize or correct the App Service quota for East US on that Visual Studio Professional subscription. Use the quota blade or a Service and subscription limits (quotas) support request and include the correlation IDs and region (East US) so the engineer can locate and fix the underlying quota configuration.
