Hi @Sarathi J
Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.
Since you mentioned that you are using a free trial subscription, it is possible that your account does not have the necessary permissions to create an App Service plan.
Check your account permissions:
Make sure that your account has the necessary permissions to create an App Service plan. You can check your account permissions by going to the Azure portal and selecting "Access control (IAM)" -> "Role assignments".
Verify Permissions:
Use the following command to check your role assignments and ensure you have the necessary permissions:

Get-AzRoleAssignment -ResourceGroupName 'rg-ase-test'

You should have at least the Contributor role assigned for the resource group where you are trying to create the App Service Plan. Log In Again: Sometimes, session issues can lead to authorization errors. Log out and log back into your Azure account using:

Disconnect-AzAccount Connect-AzAccount

Check your subscription limits: Make sure that you have not reached the maximum limit of resources allowed for your subscription. You can check your subscription limits by going to the Azure portal and selecting your subscription. Then, go to "Usage + quotas" and check the limits for the App Service plan.

Check your authentication: Make sure that you are authenticated with the correct account in PowerShell. You can check your authentication by running the command "Get-AzContext" in PowerShell.

Hi @Laxman Reddy Revuri ,

Thanks for the resposne

I tried the above steps still have same issue. I can create the app service through Azure portal Manually. When it comes to CLI commands facing issue.

Then "Usage and Quotas" are showing as empty for the subscription.

It sounds like you’re encountering a specific issue with the Azure CLI and your free trial subscription. Here are a few additional steps to try:

Update Azure CLI: Ensure you have the latest version of the Azure CLI. You can update it using:

az upgrade --yes

Check Permissions: Even though you can create the service through the portal, double-check your permissions for CLI operations. Ensure your account has the necessary roles assigned.

Region Restrictions: Free trial subscriptions often have region-specific restrictions. Try creating the App Service Plan in a different region, such as East US or West Europe.

Quota Limits: Although “Usage and Quotas” shows as empty, there might still be hidden limits. Contact Azure Support to verify if there are any restrictions on your subscription.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, you might need to upgrade your subscription to a Pay-As-You-Go plan to remove these limitations.

Hi @Sarathi J
Verify the Azure Subscription Type

Free Trial Subscription Restrictions: Free trial subscriptions often come with specific restrictions (e.g., limited resources, certain features disabled). Make sure you're not hitting these limits. For example, free tier services may be restricted for creating new App Service Plans.

Upgrade to Pay-As-You-Go: If you're using a free trial, you may need to upgrade to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription or another type that allows more flexibility for resource creation. Check your subscription type by navigating to Subscriptions in the Azure portal.

Create the App Service Plan in a Different Region

If you're still encountering issues, try creating the App Service Plan in a different region. Sometimes, certain regions might have specific restrictions or resource availability problems, especially on free or low-tier subscriptions.

When creating the App Service Plan, try selecting a different region (such as East US, West Europe, etc.) and see if that resolves the issue.

Check Subscription and Resource Group Compliance

Ensure that the resource group you’re trying to use is correctly configured and isn’t restricted by any policies.

Verify that the resource group and subscription are in good standing, and there are no policies or locks preventing the creation of resources.
