An Azure service that provides access to OpenAI’s GPT-3 models with enterprise capabilities.
The free $200 trial subscription is limited for Azure OpenAI/Foundry Models and often starts with 0 Tokens-per-Minute (TPM) quota for GPT models in all regions. When quota is 0 TPM, no deployment can be created, which is why every model in every region shows 0 TPM capacity.
For Foundry Models and Azure OpenAI, deployments and inference are governed by per‑model, per‑region TPM quota:
- Quota is assigned to the subscription per region and per model.
- When quota is 0 TPM for a model in a region, no deployment of that model can be created there.
To move forward, use one of these supported options:
- Request more quota (if available for the subscription type)
- For Foundry Models / Azure OpenAI, quota increases are requested via the documented quota request flow.
- Use the quota increase form referenced in the documentation: quota increase form.
- If the subscription type (free trial / credit-card) is not eligible for additional quota, the request may be denied and deployments will remain blocked.
- Reallocate quota from existing deployments (if any exist)
- If there are any existing deployments with TPM assigned, reduce their TPM in the Foundry portal to free capacity, then assign that TPM to the new deployment.
- This only helps if there is already non‑zero quota for that model in that region; if total quota is 0 TPM, there is nothing to reallocate.
- Use a different subscription type
- For higher Azure OpenAI quotas (including GPT‑4.x / GPT‑4o / GPT‑4.1 families), an enterprise or pay‑as‑you‑go subscription with approved Azure OpenAI access and granted quota is typically required.
- Once such a subscription has quota assigned for a model in a region, deployments can be created up to that TPM limit.
If the free trial subscription shows 0 TPM for all GPT models in all regions, and a quota increase request is not approved, there is no supported way to deploy GPT models from that subscription.
