    Hello Samabc,

    Thank you for your insightful question. I understand the confusion regarding the “0 of 15” notation in the vCPU quota table.

    The “0 of 15” indicates that, within the Azure subscription, the maximum allowed vCPUs for that specific VM family in the given region is 15. This figure represents the quota limit, not the actual usage. The “0” signifies that, at the time of reference, no vCPUs from that family have been allocated yet.

    However, the actual vCPU usage is determined by the VMs that are currently deployed, regardless of their state (running or deallocated). For instance, even if a VM is stopped (deallocated), it still counts against the quota because it has previously consumed vCPUs.

    In the scenario, the deployed VMs in the North Central US region are:

    • VM1: 4 vCPUs

    • VM2: 8 vCPUs (stopped but still counts)

    • VM3: 2 vCPUs (in South Central US, not affecting North Central US quota)

    This totals 12 vCPUs consumed in the North Central US region, leaving 3 vCPUs available out of the 15 quota.

    Therefore, while the “0 of 15” indicates the maximum quota, the actual usage is derived from the deployed VMs, which in this case is 12 vCPUs.

    I hope this clarifies the distinction between quota limits and actual usage. If you have further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to ask.

    If you have further questions or need additional clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

    Best,
