Hi,
I’ve tried several times via the Azure Portal and to scale server erp-api-dev-postgres3 from B2ms (2 vCores, 4 GiB) to Standard_D4ds_v5 (4 vCores, 16 GiB, 6400 max IOPS). Each attempt sits in Updating for a few minutes and then flips to Failed with no useful error details (just an Activity ID). I’m using the server’s admin account, so this shouldn’t be a permissions issue.
This is a tiny dev instance that I must enlarge to validate a new feature, and it’s the second time I’ve hit the same problem with Flexible Server—making me nervous about production.
- How can I pull real diagnostics for a failed scale-up?
- Are there hidden quotas or limits that block a B-series D-series move even when the SKU shows as available?
- What workaround would you recommend if the in-place upgrade keeps failing?

Thanks for any help.

{ "code": "OperationTimedOut", "message": "The operation timed out and automatically rolled back. Please retry the operation." }Thanks
