Hello @Kent Harman

looks like you're facing the error while trying to resize your Batch pool to use D family VMs. This often indicates that your Batch account has hit a core quota limit for that specific VM series, even if your subscription displays available quotas for regions and vCPUs.

"AccountVMSeriesCoreQuotaReached"

This error means the quota for Spot/Low-priority vCPUs is reached.

Please follow the steps for creating the Quota request.

• Sign in to the Azure portal
• Check the Batch account quotas in the Azure portal
• Select or search for Batch accounts.
• On the Batch accounts page, select the Batch account that you want to review.
• On the Batch account's menu, under Settings, select Quotas.

Review the quotas currently applied to the Batch account.

1. Based on the quota requirements, request a quota increase for your Batch account or your subscription by using the Azure portal or by using the Azure Quota REST API. The type of quota increase depends on the pool allocation mode of your Batch account. To request a quota increase, you must include the VM series for which you would like to increase the quota. When the quota increase is applied, it's applied to all series of VMs. When you create your request, you can select the following two quota types:
   • Select Per Batch account to request quota increases for a single Batch account. These quota increases can include dedicated and Spot cores and the number of jobs and pools. If you select this option, specify the Batch account to which this request applies. Then, select the quota(s) you'd like to update and provide the new limit you're requesting for each resource. The Spot quota is a single value across all VM series. If you need constrained SKUs, select Spot cores and include the VM families to request.
   • Select All accounts in this region to request quota increases that apply to all Batch accounts in a region. For example, use this option to increase the number of Batch accounts per region per subscription.
2. After you submit your support request, Azure support will contact you. Quota requests may be completed within a few minutes or up to two business days. Once the quota request is completed or fulfilled, the pool creation should be successful.
