``"error": {

``"code": "ApiServiceCreationDisabledForSubscription",

``"message": "Creation of new StandardV2 API Management services in UK South is not available at the moment. Try again later, or try another region."

Hi @Alejandro Coello SA ,

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

The error indicates a temporary capacity limitation for API Management Standard v2 in the UK South region. This is a platform-side availability constraint and is not typically caused by an issue with the deployment configuration. Microsoft currently identifies UK South as having temporary capacity restrictions for APIM v2 service creation. [https://le...e-gateways], [github.com]

Recommended actions:

Retry the deployment later, as regional capacity availability may change over time. [https://le...e-gateways]

Deploy the APIM Standard v2 instance in another supported region if UK South is not a strict requirement. Microsoft recommends using an alternative region while capacity is unavailable. [https://le...e-gateways], [github.com]

Reference:

Azure API Management region availability [github.com]

Current status:

The deployment failure is caused by a temporary regional capacity restriction for API Management Standard v2 in UK South. At this time, retrying the deployment later or deploying to another supported region are the recommended resolution options.

Hi @Alejandro Coello SA ,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

We are aware of an active issue affecting the creation of API Management SKUv2/PremiumV2 services through the Azure Portal. Current investigation indicates that portal-based region validation checks may incorrectly prevent service provisioning, while creation through the management API continues to work successfully.

Workarounds

Use the Azure Portal with the temporary feature flag enabled:

Azure Portal (temporary workaround)

Alternatively, create the API Management SKUv2/PremiumV2 service using the Azure Management API, which is not affected by this issue.

Current Status

Engineering teams are actively investigating the portal validation issue and working on a mitigation to restore the normal provisioning experience. Existing API Management services are not impacted.

Please try the workaround above and let us know whether you are able to successfully provision the service
