Pipeline issue
I have queued a pipeline, and I have a Basic plan (free trail). So I understood that I need to fill a form requesting for a free service. But when I use that link I get that error. Any issue when it will be resumed and when will I be able to get it.

The error occurs because Azure DevOps has temporarily paused the approval of free concurrency grants due to high demand or other operational reasons. Here are some workarounds you can consider without purchasing additional concurrency:
- Use Self-Hosted Agents: Set up self-hosted agents on your own infrastructure, if you don't have a VM you can run it on your laptop. This allows you to run pipelines without relying on the free hosted agents provided by Azure DevOps.
- Follow the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/windows-agent?view=azure-devops to set up a self-hosted agent.
- Optimize Pipeline Usage: Review and optimize your pipeline usage to reduce the need for concurrent runs. This might involve:
- Combining smaller jobs into larger ones.
- Scheduling non-critical pipelines to run during off-peak hours.
- Reducing the frequency of pipeline triggers.
- Use Self-Hosted Agents: Set up self-hosted agents on your own infrastructure, if you don't have a VM you can run it on your laptop. This allows you to run pipelines without relying on the free hosted agents provided by Azure DevOps.
Can try this:
- Check for Errors: Look for any error messages or codes when you try to fill out the form. This can give you more insight into what might be going wrong.
- Review Subscription Limits: Ensure that your Basic plan hasn't hit any resource limits or quotas that might be preventing you from accessing the form.
- Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, clearing your browser cache and cookies can resolve unexpected issues with web forms.
- Try a Different Browser: If possible, try accessing the form from a different web browser to see if the issue persists.
