Unable to request a pool quota increase (set to 0) in Azure Batch account

Question

Unable to request a pool quota increase (set to 0) in Azure Batch account

Alexei Arkhangelskiy 5

I created a new batch account and noticed that the current quota for 'Pools' is set to 0. When I try to request a quota increase, there is no option to select the pool quota specifically, only active jobs – see the screenshots below. Is there another way to request a pool quota increase?

Hi Alexei Arkhangelskiy,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

It looks like you are trying to create a new pool in Azure Batch, but you are encountering the error "PoolQuotaReached". There are limits on certain resources associated with Azure Batch. For example, if your pool doesn't reach your target number of compute nodes, you might have reached the core quota limit for your Batch account. Many limits are default quotas, which Azure applies at the subscription or account level.

Request for subscription's Batch service quotas: -https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/batch/batch-quota-limit?source=recommendations#request-in-azure-portal

Request for existing pools-https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/batch/batch-quota-limit?source=recommendations#view-batch-quotas

Make sure you create the pool in the correct resource group and subscription. Suppose you are unsure which resource group or subscription to use. In that case, you can view a list of available resource groups and subscriptions in the Azure portal by going to the "Resource groups" and "Subscriptions" blades, respectively.

If you have any further queries, do let us know.

Hi Nagarjuna Reddy Yanna,

I tried to do what the the links you shared instruct. However, when requesting the quota increase, I do not see the pools option, as mentioned in my original post. Please see the screenshot I attached there.

I only have one subscription and several resource groups; I tried creating a batch account instance within each resource group and the pools quota is 0 across all of them.

I need to increase pools quota, not the # of vCPUs. Currently pools is set to 0. I do not see how I can select pools in the increase quota request. Please see the screenshot below.

Hello, @Alexei Arkhangelskiy ! It sounds like you currently see this when trying to submit a request to increase the number of batch pools:

When you expect to see this (with "Pools per Batch account" shown):

Is that correct?

Hi kobulloc-MSFT,

Yes, that's exactly my problem – I don't see "Pools per Batch account" option.

Thank you for the confirmation, @Alexei Arkhangelskiy ! I'm not aware of anything that would remove the Pools per Batch account option in a quota request, so I've reached out to the Azure Batch team to confirm what would cause the behavior you are seeing.

Answer 2

Hello, @Alexei Arkhangelskiy !

Why am I not seeing Pools per Batch account when attempting to increase my pool quota for Azure Batch?

This appears to be a bug as this option should always be presented, and we'd like to confirm that there isn't an issue at the browser level as we troubleshoot this.

We'll need the following:

A browser trace (HAR file, I'll reach out directly with an email alias)
Any errors that may occur in your browser debug console when you encounter this issue

Pools per Batch account should always be shown when increasing pool quota for Azure Batch:
