We’re excited to announce the public preview of the new App Service quota self-service experience, designed to give you more visibility, control, and flexibility when managing your App Service resources in Azure.

Update 10/30/2025: The App Service Quota Self-Service experience is back online after a short period where we were incorporating your feedback and making needed updates. As this is public preview, ...

On Azure Free Trial subscriptions, Linux App Service (including F1/D1) appears to be blocked even though the Quotas blade shows no quota request is required. Deployments fail with a 401/quota-0 error, while Windows App Service works and upgrading to Pay-As-You-Go immediately resolves the issue. This seems to be a subscription entitlement limitation rather than a quota issue and could benefit from clearer documentation/error messaging.

    Yup, that's my experience as well on the MPN subscription. (Read as: free azure credits)

    It clearly states no quota request is required.

    I resolved the issue by requesting free tier quota, despite the message saying that the quota request was not required. It took less than 5 minutes.

      That’s useful to know. In my case the subscription shows App Service quotas as “Ineligible for quota adjustment” (0/0), so there’s no path to request even Free tier capacity. Can you confirm where the quota request was submitted (Quotas blade vs support request), and the subscription type/region? This would help clarify whether this is an entitlement vs quota difference.

        Yeah, I used the quota blade. I put 2 in F1 and 2 in Y1 and was all set 5 minutes later.

        Region: East US

        Sub type: PayGo (I was mistaken, I did not do this on my MPN subscription)

    Update based on further testing on Azure Free Trial:

     

    After additional validation, App Service creation fails on Azure Free Trial subscriptions across all SKUs (Free, Shared, Standard, Premium) and for both Windows and Linux, returning a 401 Unauthorized / quota 0 error (e.g., Current Limit: 0 for Free/Shared/Standard VMs).

     

    This indicates a subscription-level entitlement restriction, not a regional quota or OS limitation. The Quotas blade shows no actionable quota request, which can be misleading.

     

    Azure SQL, Storage, and other services deploy successfully in the same subscription, further confirming this is App Service–specific. Clear documentation or explicit messaging indicating that App Service is disabled on Free Trial subscriptions would help customers evaluating Azure services and avoid significant troubleshooting time.
