Azure VM won't move between subscriptions with "The resource provider cannot perform this operation currently due to system upgrade. Please retry after some time. "

Question

Trying to move a few VMs between subscriptions. All three of the VMs in the particular resource group fail with the error message "The resource provider cannot perform this operation currently due to system upgrade. Please retry after some time." Well, some time has passed and the error is persisting. Since there's no other info about this, I'm trying to figure out whether this is indicative of some other error that I need to resolve or if I simply need to wait longer. I've already resolved other issues involving disk encryption needing to be disable and recovery point set deletion, and now this last validation error is what's blocking the move.

Does anybody have any insight into this particular error?

@Andrew Silverman

This error normally appears when you perform move or migrate at the time of platform maintenance.

If this is the reason, then you should see issues moving to new subscriptions for resources related to VM's. Please retry the move operation and let us know if you are still facing issues.

Hope this helps! If you are still facing issues we can work with you directly to troubleshoot and resolve this.
