Have the same issue right at this moment

Thanks for reporting this issue. It looks like the Azure App Service is experiencing some service side issues. Creating or updating web apps is intermittently failing. Please try again later, and if we get updates we'll let you know.

I'm also facing the same issue right now, any solution yet??

[ayanatwork-github]

What is the ETA for the issue. It only with App Service and Azure Function apps. Rest of the services are easily deployable.
I have a "pay-as-you-go" subscription, but while deploying app service or function app getting the error mentioned.

Experience the same issue on Sponsorship subscriptions

[smitter-ua]

I made it working after enabling another "Resource Provider". So besides "Microsoft.Web", I also enabled "Microsoft.DomainRegistration" on my subscription. I found out that this provider is involved in App Service creation as well as Function App, since they are based on the App Service by observing providers list from this article.
"Microsoft.DomainRegistration" was not enabled by default for my "free-tier" subscription, so I guess this should be a problem

Yes, i have same problem.

[ayanatwork-github]

As per @smitter-ua , I have registered Microsoft.DomianRegsitration, but facing the same issue.

[shailesh-sakaria]

I have registered Microsoft.DomianRegsitration too along with Microsoft.Web, but facing the same issue.

I can confirm this, seems this issue is affecting only the FREE Tier Azure Subscription ( At least from my side ). Other TIER Subscription seems have no issue, and only on Web App and Function because both requires ASP ( Azure Service Plan ) , which the Subscription cannot plumb ASP. seems like, Microsoft not looking into this with urgency, MS learn Community forum logged this as been happening for past 1week+ . https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1659099/the-subscription-is-not-allowed-to-create-or-updat

I am using Pay As you Go subscription, still I am facing this error for new subscription.

[hqt98]

I resolved the issued. I had to tag @AzureSupport on Twitter, then I sent them my sub id and they gave me a 72 hour technical support package that allows me to contact their tech support. Currently, this is a quota problem that can only be fixed by the engineering team case-by-case. They resolve my case after around 30 hours.

I have a subscription using Azure for Students and i cannot create the "App Service Plan" with the same error message. First approach to Azure and having this issue...from such a big provider this is a real disappointment.

[ayodejii]

any update on this yet? I currently am facing this issue.

[Yassab09]

I was finally able to solve this issue after 3 days of tinkering. As i use a Free Plan, i couldn't create a support request. So here's what i did:

• Openened docs at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/resource-providers-and-types
• Click on any "Open Cloud Shell" button in green. A new cloud shell will open asking you to login.
• Unregister Microsoft.Web using: Unregister-AzResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.Web
• In your Azure Subscription page under Settings>Ressource providers, you will see that the status of Microsoft.Web is now "Unregistering" Don't freak out if this takes too long, in my case it took 45 minutes as it had to unregister throughout all regions.
• Once Unregister is completed, all i had to do is to Register Again using Cloud Shell (the register button on the web portal might not work), just open Cloud Shell and type: Register-AzResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.Web
• Wait for it to finish and do the same for Microsoft.NetworkFunction and Microsoft.DomainRegistration as they are both somehow intertwined with Microsoft.Web (I couldn't find any evidence but it is what it is, feel free to correct me).
• After doing so, check which Region is assigned to your account subscription, as you will face the same issue again if you try to deploy to a wrong region. Go to Organization settings, just under the Overview, you will see "Geography > Region" in my case it was set to "Europe North", since i couldn't change it, i just deployed to the same region.

I hope this helps anyone facing the same issue.

Any update on this? Facing the same issue here.
Even after register all Microsoft.Web, Microsoft.NetworkFunction and Microsoft.DomainRegistration and also tried on all region to create App Service.

I resolved the issue based on the https://www.reddit.com/r/AZURE/comments/1chl7nj/visual_studio_professional_subscription_and/
by upgrading my subscription to pay-as-you-go. The deployment of AppService completed immediately after I confirmed my credit card.

@41WhiteElephants
I have pay-as-you-go and started getting this issue just yesterday (before I was able to create web apps)
What is going on here.

[nbelyh]

Just created a new subscription (a second one)
Creating new app source plan just worked for it without any issues.

This worked, dont forget to register Microsoft.NetworkFunction and Microsoft.DomainRegistration if not already. Thanks
