How to get Claude (Anthropic) model quota in Azure AI Foundry: quota is 0 in East US 2 and Sweden Central

Question

I'm trying to deploy an Anthropic Claude model in Azure AI Foundry but cannot, because the model quota is 0.

Environment:

• Service: Microsoft Foundry (Azure AI Foundry), AIServices resource
• Region: East US 2 (resource is deployed here; Sweden Central is the only other supported Claude region)
• Deployment type: Global Standard (pay-per-token)
• Model: claude-sonnet-4-6 (also tested claude-opus-4-6)

My subscription meets all the documented prerequisites for deploying Claude:

• It is a paid / billed Azure subscription (not free trial, sponsored/credit-only, or CSP).
• The Foundry resource is in a supported region (East US 2).
• Deployment type is Global Standard.
• I have Contributor on the resource group.

The only unmet item is quota (currently 0).

Problem:

• In the Foundry "Model quota" blade (Show all quota enabled), all Claude models show 0 assigned quota in both East US 2 and Sweden Central.
• Deploying fails with "Insufficient quota for selected options" / "The model is not available in this resource".
• Region is supported, the resource type is correct, and I have Contributor on the resource group, so this is not a role or region issue — it's purely 0 quota.

What I've already done:

• Submitted the Azure AI Foundry quota request form (https://aka.ms/oai/stuquotarequest) for a Global Standard Claude allocation in East US 2.

Questions:

1. Is the Foundry quota request form the correct and only intake for Anthropic/Claude quota, or is there another approval path?
2. Typical turnaround time for Claude/Anthropic quota approval?
3. Are there any subscription-type restrictions for Anthropic models I should be aware of?
4. Does requesting quota require Owner/Contributor at the subscription level (vs. resource group level)?

Any guidance on the fastest supported path to get a non-zero Claude quota grant would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello @Niravkumar Damor (MAQ LLC) ,

Thank you for your patience while navigating this process.

Requests related to Anthropic model's quota in AI Foundry follow a gated review process and updates or prioritization are managed exclusively through the Azure Support and capacity review teams.

At this point, there are no additional actions that can be taken outside of Support to influence the outcome or timeline of the request. Continued engagement with the Azure Support team remains the appropriate and supported path for visibility or further follow‑up.

Thank you
