Can't adjust Quota nor can Create a quota adjustment request, NOR CAN I CREATE THE SUPPORT REQUEST TO FIX THIS.

IDK why I keep using Azure and not switch to AWS because this is stupid. Like seriously what the fuck.

So I want to create a quota increase request but the quota request increase button is disabled.

Okay so lets try to create a request ticket but it will not let me fill out the details beyond selecting the region and compute. Trying to select next results in a form validation error.

Okay so try to create a support ticket for the inability to create a request tick. THERE IS NO WAY TO DO THAT without paying. What the fuck.

Fortunately I know a guy at AWS.

So my support question is, should I switch to AWS?

Hello @Michael McMinn

Don't switch to AWS just because of one quota/support experience.

Quick fix for your actual blocker:

Button disabled = you don't have Owner/Contributor + Quota Request Operator role, or subscription is disabled/locked due to billing. Go to:

Portal > Quotas > Search "Compute" > Create support request Use direct link: aka.ms/quotaincrease or Portal > Help + Support > Create support request > Service and subscription limits (quotas) > Quota type: Compute-VM.

If that form still validation-errors, it's 99% because your subscription is in Disabled/Warning state from the billing issue you mentioned earlier - quota requests are blocked on disabled subscriptions.

I am the account admin. Also this is GCC High. Not the same account / subscription with the billing issue. The account is in good standing, there are no billing alerts or warnings as far as I can tell. This is entirely an azure infrastructure issue.

We already migrated our commercial Azure stuff to AWS after that billing BS. All the data lost because your support team can't respond to a billing issue (THAT REQUIRES SUPPORT ASSISTANCE TO SOLVE) within the 30 days? Hellllllllllllll no. I'd have to assume all data and config in Azure can be lost at any time with zero ability to resolve. Not going to happen.

ALSO why on EARTH do I need a paid license per user if I only want to authenticate with Entra ID. AWS IAM identity is free! ITS FREE! What are we doing here?

Also also, already migrated to AWS Gov cloud. At least its set up and we decided to move the new infra to that. Seriously Microsoft, you need to get your heads out of your butts if you want to keep customers. Like AWS signup took literally 5 minutes, no multi day approval bs, no needing a third party freggin provider to create the tenant. As far as I can tell, no mismatch in feature parity between the environments. They have micro instances. I should not need to pay 60/mo for a server to run a VPN endpoint because you don't supprt that VPN type. Why are the micro instances not just available in GCC High?

I DO like office 365 and that is literally the ONLY thing keeping me on Microsoft products. And only just barely, considering you axed publisher and now I have to do everything in powerpoint!?
