I am unable to create new App Service Plans in my subscription. Every attempt fails with error code 429 (Throttled) and the message: "App Service Plan Create operation is throttled for subscription Azure Students. Please contact support if issue persists."

Impact:

  • This has been occurring consistently for the past 4 days.
  • I cannot provision new App Service Plans, which blocks deployment of new applications.
  • The issue persists across different regions and resource groups.

Request: Please investigate the throttling on my subscription and remove or adjust the restriction so I can continue creating App Service Plans. If this is related to quota limits, kindly advise on increasing or resetting the quota.

That wording should give Azure Support a clear picture of the problem and its urgency.

Would you like me to also draft the exact steps in the Azure Portal to submit this support request so you can do it quickly?

Hi @Pratham Chauhan
The 429 error occurs when you have too many deployments/failed deployments of an app service plan within a short period of time. This causes the system to throttle any additional deployments for the next 48 hours. This limit is per region, which is why you were able to use other regions or subscriptions.

If this occurs, you will need to wait 48 hours to complete a deployment in that region or contact support to see if they will remove the throttle.

Here are some suggested next steps:

  • Wait for the throttle to be removed (up to 48 hours).
  • Try deploying in a different region since throttling can vary by region.
  • Use a different subscription if you have one available.
  • Upgrade from Free/Shared SKU as these have strict limits.

    To address the error code 429 (Throttled) you are encountering when trying to create App Service Plans in your Azure subscription, you can take the following steps:

    1. Review Throttling Patterns: The error indicates that your subscription has hit a throttling limit. This can happen if you are making too many requests in a short period. Consider reducing the frequency of your requests or spacing out your operations.
    2. Check Quota Limits: If this issue is related to quota limits, you may need to request an increase in your quotas. You can do this by creating a support request in the Azure portal.
    3. Create a Support Request: Here are the steps to submit a support request through the Azure portal:
      • Open the Azure portal and sign in.
      • Select Help + Support from the menu.
      • Click on Create new support request.
      • In the Describe your issue text box, enter Technical, and then select Go.
      • From the Select a service dropdown menu, select Service and Subscription Limits (Quotas), and then select Next.
      • At the Problem description, choose the Issue type, Subscription, and Quota type values, and then select Next.
      • Review any recommended solutions, if available, and then select Next.
      • Add other details as needed, and then select Next.
      • At Review + create, check the information, make changes as needed, and then select Create.

    By following these steps, you should be able to submit a support request to investigate the throttling on your subscription and request adjustments to your quota limits.
