Static Web App "Enterprise-grade edge" stuck — "A create or update operation is currently in progress" blocks all updates

Enabling "Enterprise-grade edge" (Azure Front Door integration) on our Static Web App has failed to complete 4 times over 2 days (2026-08-31 to 2026-09-02). Each attempt shows "Enabling in progress" for many hours, then reverts to disabled without any error message in the Portal.

Resource details:

  • Subscription: Acceptance-drg
  • Resource group: acc-bzk
  • Resource name: TestPortaalTotaal
  • Resource type: Static Web App (Standard plan)

Activity Log shows multiple "Create or Update Static Site" operations stuck in status "Accepted" for 8 minutes to 19+ hours, never resolving to "Succeeded" or "Failed".

When attempting to trigger the operation again via Azure CLI (az staticwebapp enterprise-edge enable), we get:

ERROR: (Conflict) Cannot update Static Web App: A create or update operation is currently in progress for the static web app TestPortaalTotaal.
Code: Conflict

This confirms there's a stuck/hung operation on this resource blocking all further updates, with no way to cancel or retry it ourselves. We're on the Basic support plan so cannot open a paid technical ticket.

Has anyone encountered this, or does a Microsoft engineer know how to clear a stuck "Create or Update Static Site" operation on a Static Web App resource?
