    There could be several reasons why your request for quota increases for Azure HDInsight is marked as 'ineligible'. Here are some common factors:

    1. Quota Limits: Azure has fixed quota limits for various resources, and if your subscription has reached these limits, you may be ineligible for further increases. For instance, a single Azure subscription can have at most 10,000 cores.
    2. Region-Specific Quotas: Quotas are often applied at the region level, and if your current usage in a specific region is already high, it may prevent you from requesting additional resources.
    3. Subscription Type: The type of Azure subscription you have may also affect your eligibility for quota increases. Certain subscriptions may have stricter limits compared to others.
    4. Previous Requests: If you have recently requested a quota increase and it was denied, there may be a waiting period before you can submit another request.
    5. Incomplete Information: Ensure that your request includes all necessary information. Incomplete requests may be automatically marked as ineligible.

    To resolve this, you can review your current quota limits, check the specific requirements for your subscription, and ensure that your request is complete with all relevant details. If needed, you can also contact Azure support for further assistance.

    Hi Urbach, Tara

    it sounds like you're facing some challenges with HDInsight quota increases where everything appears to be 'ineligible.' This issue often arises when your subscription may have reached its CPU core quota limit in the region, preventing you from scaling your HDInsight cluster.

    Here’s what you can do to check and request a quota increase:

    Check Your Current Quota:

    • Sign in to the Azure portal.
      • Navigate to the Overview page for your HDInsight cluster.
        • Select Quota limits from the left menu. This section will show how many cores are in use, available cores, and the total cores.
    1. Prepare a Quota Increase Request: If you find that you are indeed hitting a limit, follow these steps to submit a quota increase request:
      • In the Azure portal, go to Help + support. or https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Support
      • Select New support request.
      • On the Basics tab, select: 
             - **Issue type**: Service and subscription limits (quotas)
     
     
           - **Subscription**: Your relevant subscription
     
           
                 - **Quota type**: HDInsight
     
                 
                 - Provide a clear description of your request. For instance:
     
                 
                 ```sql
                 I would like to request [SPECIFY DESIRED AMOUNT] for [DESIRED SKU] for [SUBSCRIPTION ID].
     ```My current quota on this subscription is [CURRENT QUOTA AMOUNT].

    I would like to use the extra cores for [DETAIL REASON]. ```

                     **Submit the Request**: Complete the form and submit it.
```**Common Reasons for Ineligibility**:

- You might be exceeding the number of cores allowed by your current quota.

- If your subscription has reached the maximum number of allowed deployments in a resource group, that can also lead to such issues.

I hope this helps you get started! Let me know if you need any further assistance.
