I have one PayAsYouGo subscription in Azure. Recently, I have been experiencing lots of trouble provisioning app service plans to "East US" and "East US2" regions.
Example deployment error (Portal or Bicep):
Validation failed for a resource. Check 'Error.Details[0]' for more information. (Code: ValidationForResourceFailed)
-
Operation cannot be completed without additional quota. Additional details - Location: Current Limit (Basic VMs): 0 Current Usage: 0 Amount required for this deployment (Basic VMs): 1 (Minimum) New Limit that you should request to enable this deployment: 1. Note that if you experience multiple scaling operations failing (in addition to this one) and need to accommodate the aggregate quota requirements of these operations, you will need to request a higher quota limit than the one currently displayed. (Code: SubscriptionIsOverQuotaForSku)
I get the same message for Free (F1), A series, B series, and even P series.
When I review my quotas:

I don't see the problem. If I provisioned an app service in East US but let the app service plan get created automatically, it gets created in "Canada Central". I can also provision the plan directly in the Canadian region with no problem.
I don't know where this VM restriction elsewhere set if not in the subscriptions usage and quota.

understand the issue you’re encountering. There are a few possible causes to consider:
Quota or Limit Exceeded: You may have reached Azure subscription limits (such as VM cores, storage capacity, or network resources). To verify, navigate to the Azure Portal → Subscriptions → Usage + quotas and review your current resource limits.
Resource Conflicts: The issue could also be due to naming conflicts, invalid configurations (for example, selecting an unsupported VM size in the chosen region), or unmet dependencies such as missing virtual networks or subnets.
If you have any further queries, do let us know.

Thanks for sharing your details. Based on the
Get-AzVMUsageoutput for East US, it looks like the issue isn’t your subscription quota in general, but rather regional VM SKU limits (soft quotas).Even though most VM quotas show availability, some SKUs such as Basic A Family, Standard Basv2, and Standard Bsv2 have a default limit of 0 in East US. App Service Plans rely on underlying VMs, so if the selected SKU has a 0 quota in that region, provisioning will fail. This is why your App Service Plan automatically gets created in Canada Central, where the SKU has available quota.
Recommendations:
- Request a quota increase for the specific VM SKU in East US via:
- Azure Portal >> Subscriptions >> Usage + quotas >> select the region >> Request Increase.
- Use an alternate region with available capacity if an immediate deployment is required.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any queries.
