Can't create Azure Batch Pool

I have a Pay-as-you-Go subscription with a monthly billing of around $500. I'm building an app that leverages Azure Batch but for some reason I'm unable to create a Batch Pool. I've followed the instructions here but no matter what I try I get the error PoolQuotaReached. In the Quotas I see my Pool count set to zero. I've tried requesting a quota increase but the response was that I need a LLC to use Azure Batch. I can't find any documentation to support this so I'm baffled why I can't create a pool. Please help!

    Hi Simon Jones,

    Based on the error described above you are not able to spin up your node in pool as your quota is reached. If you have any compute nodes, the error message "PoolQuotaReached: Pool quota for the account has been reached" indicates that you have reached the maximum number of compute nodes that you are allowed to create in your Batch account. To resolve, you can either increase the quota or delete some of the existing compute nodes to free up space to create a new nodes.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/batch/batch-quota-limit#increase-a-quota

    Please check with the workaround followed here which might help to troubleshoot your query:

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/2122462/getting-pool-quota-reached-while-creating-a-batch

    As stated above, you received a response for your request indicating that a LLC is required to use Azure Batch., it may be due to specific policy restrictions on your subscription type and try upgrading to a different subscription type.
