his virtual machine requires a subscription without any spending limit or temporary payment method set. Use a different subscription or update your subscription (requires account administrator privileges) at [Account Center](https://account.windowsazure.c

To create a virtual machine (VM) in Azure, you need to ensure that your subscription does not have a spending limit or a temporary payment method set. If you are encountering issues with your existing subscription, consider the following steps:

1. Check Subscription Type: Ensure that your subscription type allows for VM creation without restrictions. Subscriptions like Visual Studio may have limitations.
2. Remove Spending Limit: If your subscription has a spending limit, you will need to remove it. This can typically be done in the Azure portal under the subscription settings.
3. Update Payment Method: Make sure that your payment method is valid and not temporary. You can update this in the Azure portal as well.
4. Use a Different Subscription: If the current subscription does not meet the requirements, you may need to switch to a different subscription that allows VM creation without these limits.
5. Administrator Privileges: If you need to make changes to the subscription settings, ensure you have account administrator privileges to perform these actions.

If you continue to face issues, you may want to contact Azure support for further assistance.

Hello Venkat,

Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Q&A forum

It looks like you're having trouble creating a virtual machine (VM) with your existing Azure subscription, and the message indicates issues related to a spending limit or expired credits. Here’s what you can do to resolve it:

Check Subscription Status: First, confirm whether your subscription has been disabled because your credits have expired or you have reached your spending limit. You can do this by logging into the Azure portal and navigating to Cost Management + Billing to check your subscription overview.

1. Upgrade to Pay-As-You-Go: If your Azure subscription is disabled due to expired credits, you’ll need to upgrade it to a pay-as-you-go plan:
   • Sign in to the Azure portal.
   • Go to Subscriptions.
   • Select your disabled subscription and click on Upgrade subscription.
   • Follow the prompts to add a payment method if you haven’t already.
   This is essential because once you upgrade, any resources that are not free will be enabled after the upgrade, although you might start incurring charges for usage beyond what was previously included.
2. Remove Spending Limit: If your subscription has a spending limit set (common in free trials), you may want to remove that limit to avoid service disruptions:
   • Sign into the Azure portal as an Account Administrator.
   • Go to Cost Management + Billing and select your subscription.
   • Find an option or banner to Remove spending limit and choose whether to remove it indefinitely or for the current billing period.
3. Monitoring and Notifications: Make sure to set up monitoring and notifications in the Azure portal to keep track of your usage and spending, so you don’t run into these issues again

If you run into any specific errors or the options mentioned above aren’t available, here are a few follow-up questions that could help clarify the situation:

• Can you confirm if your subscription was a Free Trial or another type?
• Have you reached out to the Account Administrator for your Azure subscription regarding upgrades?
• What specific error message did you receive when attempting to create the VM?
