Azure quotas: compare regional capacity and usage
Query limits by subscription, provider, and region; request increases only with confirmation.
Skills
Confirm the subscription ID, provider namespace, region, and Azure resource-name mapping. Install `az extension add --name quota` if needed. Use `az quota list/show` and `az quota usage show` to compare limit and consumption; for regional comparisons, query the same resource family in each region and bound the output. Submit `az quota update` only when the user explicitly requests an increase, after showing the scope, resource name, and target value; then inspect the request status. Registering the `Microsoft.Quota` provider also changes subscription state and needs authorization. Use the capacity estimate to size the request, then check its status to confirm Azure’s decision.
Permissions
Prerequisites
- For checking Azure quota usage/limits, comparing regional capacity, or planning capacity.

Permissions
- May run quota queries and includes `az quota update` or provider-registration operations that change subscription state.

Limitations
