When trying to increase the Fabric capacity in the Azure portal from F8 to F64, I am now receiving this error

Hello Tracy Thomas,

You are trying to increase Microsoft Fabric capacity in the Azure portal from F8 (8 Capacity Units) to F64 (64 Capacity Units). However, you are receiving an error because the regional quota for Microsoft Fabric in your subscription does not currently allow this increase.

The error occurs because your subscription’s quota limit for Microsoft Fabric in that region is lower than 64 CUs. To scale to F64, you must first request a quota increase for Microsoft Fabric in the Azure portal. Azure enforces regional quota limits for services like Microsoft Fabric to prevent resource over-allocation. When you try to scale beyond your current quota (e.g., from F8 to F64), the portal blocks the change until the quota is increased. This is a safeguard for capacity planning and billing.

To request for the quota increase for the subscription, you can contact Azure support directly via the help section in the Azure portal.

 Here are the steps you can follow to create support requests:

• Go to Azure portal > Search for Help + Support or https://portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_Support/HelpAndSupportBlade/~/overview
