Unable to find Quota for WorkloadProfileMaximumCoresConstraint, blocked on creating ACAE

sw 0

Hello,

I want to create a ACAE with D4 workload profile. However I am hitting the following quota error.

My Issues are

Unable to find any quota named WorkloadProfileMaximumCoresConstraint in page.
I am already granted 201 General Purpose Cores quota in the subscription

We are glad to inform you that requested quota is approved and completed for Managed Environment General Purpose Cores / 201 in Japan East region under the sub: <>

│ Error: creating Managed Environment performing CreateOrUpdate: unexpected status 409 (409 Conflict) with error: WorkloadProfileMaximumCoresConstraint: The maximum cores for workload profile d4 cannot be more than 0.  WorkloadProfileMaximumCoresConstraint: The maximum cores for workload │ profile d4 cannot be more than 0.

Hi @sw Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

It looks like your subscription-level quota for General Purpose Cores is in place (201 cores in Japan East), but your Container Apps environment itself still has a zero-core limit for the D4 workload profile. That’s why you’re hitting:

WorkloadProfileMaximumCoresConstraint: The maximum cores for workload profile d4 cannot be more than 0.

Quotas in Azure Container Apps are scoped in four layers subscription, region, environment, and application and the D4 profile cores limit is an environment-scoped quota. Environment-scoped quotas don’t show up on the generic Quota blade in the portal. Here’s how to diagnose and fix:

View your environment quotas via the CLI

az containerapp env list-usages \
  --resource-group xxx \
  --name xx

Look for the entry with name “d4” or “WorkloadProfileMaximumCoresConstraint” and you’ll see currentValue: 0.

Request an increase on that environment-scoped quota • In the Azure portal, open Help + support → New support request • Under Issue type, pick Quota • Service: Azure Container Apps, Scope: Environment • Specify your subscription, resource group, environment name, region, and request the number of cores you need for the D4 profile (for example, 16) • Fill in a quick justification (e.g. “Need D4 profile cores to deploy internal apps at scale”) and submit

Because environment-scoped Container Apps quotas are considered manual requests, this will automatically generate a support ticket and usually completes in a few days.

After approval, re-run your Terraform apply and the ACAE will create successfully.

Hope that helps!

I need the workload profile environment to use private networking. However I am unable to create the ACAE due to 0 quota.

How should I proceed? Is this the flow?

Create all the ACAE using normal consumption plan

Request quota

Destroy all ACAE

Recreate all ACAE with workload profile

Hi @sw Yes as a workaround you can create the ACAE with available quotas from other region and then Once your Request quota is approved and you have new limits, You can destroy your ACAE and recreate it with the same region where quota is increased.
