Claude models show 0/0 TPM in Sweden Central on a new Pay-As-You-Go subscription

Hello,

On a new Pay-As-You-Go subscription, Anthropic Claude models often show 0/0 TPM because no initial quota allocation has been granted yet. Unlike GPT models, Claude quota is not automatically seeded for new subscriptions; you must explicitly request it via the Microsoft Foundry quota request form. Sweden Central does list Claude models as available, but availability in the portal does not guarantee quota assignment.

The key point is that Claude quota is managed at the subscription level, not per region. For Global Standard deployments, the quota pool is shared across all regions in the subscription. When you see 0/0 TPM, it means your subscription has not yet been allocated any capacity for that model. This is common for new Pay-As-You-Go subscriptions, as Microsoft does not automatically assign quota for Anthropic models until a request is approved. The automated increase request you tried is designed to raise existing allocations, not to create them from zero, which is why it was declined. The correct route is to use the Foundry Service quota request form at https://aka.ms/oai/stuquotarequest. Select “Model Type: Anthropic,” then choose “Hosted on Azure” to target the .Azure variants. Even if your current quota is zero, the form supports requesting an initial allocation. Each unit corresponds to 1,000 tokens per minute, so a request for 450 units equals 450,000 TPM.

As for eligibility, Pay-As-You-Go subscriptions are supported, but the default numeric limit for new Claude models may be zero until you request quota. Enterprise Agreement and Microsoft Customer Agreement subscriptions sometimes receive seeded quota automatically, but Pay-As-You-Go does not. Sweden Central is a supported region for Claude Global Standard, but you cannot deploy until quota is granted. Once approved, the quota applies globally across all regions under your subscription, so you won’t need separate allocations per region.

In short: there is no hidden eligibility step beyond accepting the marketplace terms for Anthropic models. The missing piece is the quota request itself. Submit the request form for the specific Claude model you need, and once approved, deployments in Sweden Central will be enabled. Until then, the Deploy button will remain disabled because Azure validates quota at deployment creation time.

I hope you've found something useful here. If it helps you get more insight into the issue, it's appreciated to accept the answer. Should you have more questions, feel free to leave a message. Have a nice day!
