I'm currently using a pay-as-you-go subscription and previously had no issues creating App Service Plans (ASPs). However, today when I attempted to set up a Free or Basic tier ASP, I received an error indicating that my quota is 0. Interestingly, I can still create a Premium tier ASP without any problems. I've checked the QUOTAS section of the portal but didn't find ASP listed there. I'm trying to create the service in either East US or East US 2. Here's the full error message I'm getting: "InvalidTemplateDeployment - The template deployment 'Microsoft.Web-ASP-Portal-78bbbd35-a7c8' is not valid..." It mentions that the region has a quota of 0 instances for my subscription and suggests trying a different region or SKU. How can I resolve this?

It seems that ASPs for free or shared plans might have built-in quotas that reset after a certain period. You can check out Microsoft's documentation for more insight. Some users have reported that it can take a while for these quotas to refresh. In the meantime, if you can create a Premium ASP, you could create that and then manually downgrade it to a Free or Basic plan in the portal, although that's an odd workaround!
I had a similar experience with a client recently. The error can be misleading at times. Changing the deployment region worked for them, as they were trying East US and switched to West US without issues. It might be worth testing different regions!
I’ve always set everything up in East US or East US 2, so I’ll give different regions a shot and see what happens.
You might want to click on the error message for options to request an increased quota directly. It’s frustrating, but sometimes these limits can be unlocked that way!
I see some links pop up at the bottom of the error, but nothing related to ASPs under the quotas section. Guess I’ll keep looking.
Thanks for the tip! I was working on a project recently and never hit these bumps, but I might give the Premium to Free method a go.
