--- title: Resource quota errors description: Describes how to resolve resource quota errors when deploying resources with an Azure Resource Manager template (ARM template) or Bicep file. ms.topic: troubleshooting ms.custom: devx-track-bicep, devx-track-arm-template ms.date: 04/28/2025 --- # Resolve errors for resource quotas This article describes resource quota errors that might occur when you deploy resources with an Azure Resource Manager template (ARM template) or Bicep file. ## Symptom If your template creates resources that exceed your Azure quotas, you might get the following error: ```Output Code=OperationNotAllowed Message=Operation results in exceeding quota limits of Core. Maximum allowed: 4, Current in use: 4, Additional requested: 2. ``` Or, you might see this error: ```Output Code=ResourceQuotaExceeded Message=Creating the resource of type <resource-type> would exceed the quota of <number> resources of type <resource-type> per resource group. The current resource count is <number>, please delete some resources of this type before creating a new one. ``` ## Cause Quotas are applied per resource group, subscriptions, accounts, and other scopes. For example, your subscription might be configured to limit the number of vCPUs for a region. If you attempt to deploy a virtual machine with more vCPUs than the permitted amount, you receive an error that the quota was exceeded. For quota information, see [Azure subscription and service limits, quotas, and constraints](../../azure-resource-manager/management/azure-subscription-service-limits.md). # [Azure CLI](#tab/azure-cli) For Azure CLI, use the [az vm list-usage](/cli/azure/vm#az-vm-list-usage) command to find virtual machine quotas. ```azurecli az vm list-usage --location "West US" --output table ``` ```Output Name CurrentValue Limit ---------------------------------------- -------------- ------- Availability Sets 0 2500 Total Regional vCPUs 0 100 Virtual Machines 0 25000 Virtual Machine Scale Sets 0 2500 Dedicated vCPUs 0 3000 Cloud Services 0 2500 Total Regional Low-priority vCPUs 0 100 Standard BS Family vCPUs 0 100 ... ``` # [PowerShell](#tab/azure-powershell) For PowerShell, use the [Get-AzVMUsage](/powershell/module/az.compute/get-azvmusage) cmdlet to find virtual machine quotas. ```azurepowershell Get-AzVMUsage -Location "West US" ``` ```Output Name Current Value Limit Unit ---- ------------- ----- ---- Availability Sets 0 2500 Count Total Regional vCPUs 0 100 Count Virtual Machines 0 25000 Count Virtual Machine Scale Sets 0 2500 Count Dedicated vCPUs 0 3000 Count Cloud Services 0 2500 Count Total Regional Low-priority vCPUs 0 100 Count Standard BS Family vCPUs 0 100 Count ... ``` --- ## Solution To request a quota increase, go to the portal and file a support issue. In the support issue, request an increase in your quota for the region into which you want to deploy. Some quotas let you specify a quota limit that's submitted for review and either approved or rejected. If your limit is rejected, you'll see a link to open a support request. > [!NOTE] > Remember that for resource groups, the quota is for each individual region, not for the entire > subscription. If you need to deploy 30 vCPUs in West US, you have to ask for 30 Resource Manager > vCPUs in West US. If you need to deploy 30 vCPUs in any of the regions to which you have access, > you should ask for 30 Resource Manager vCPUs in all regions. 1.
