Azure Virtual Machine CPU Cores Limit

When I try to deploy a new virtual machine in my Azure portal I get the following error at deployment time.

Deployment to resource group 'Testing' failed. Additional details from the underlying API that might be helpful: At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-debug for usage details. (Code: DeploymentFaiIed) Operation results in exceeding quota limits of Core. Maximum allowed: 20, Current in use: 24, Additional requested: 4. (Code: OperationNotAIIowed)

Is there a way to work around this issue please? Or can the maximum allowed cores be increased?

By default per Azure subscription there is a soft quota limit on virtual machine CPU cores of 20.

This can be increased by raising a Help and Support request within the portal using the predefined quota limitation options to get the current amount of CPU cores available increased.

Once submitted this will be reviewed and approved by the support team and your limit set.

If the request is for a reasonable amount this shouldn't take long to action.
