Azure Batch pool quota reached

Question

when creating a pool for my Batch account I get the following error message:

Pool quota for the account has been reached

I currently have no other pool created and when checking the quota of the batch account in the portal, the quota for pools is 20 :

I am surprised, that the quota for Spot/low-priority vCPUs is 0 .

I am following this tutorial.

Is there another quota for the pools?

Answer 1

I tried to reproduce the same in my environment and even I don't have any other pool on my account if you are using azure free trial by default, you receive this quota like below:

In my environment with this quota, I am able to create jobs successfully like below:

I have created pool like below:

And added job :

Select the job to open the Tasks page and added task like below:

Hence, with this quota itself we can able to create a pool and added task successfully if you want to increase the quota you can utilize the request quota by following this blog by uglide

After some business days quota may increase like below:

Answer 2

I contacted the support. The Azure Portal showed me a quota of 20 pools for this batch account, but internally the quota was 0. The increased the pool quota to 5 and I could create pools again. Now, in the Azure Portal the correct quota of 5 pools was displayed. It was some kind of a bug.
