You've encountered a Reactivation in Progress Azure, and now you're stuck waiting for it to complete. This process can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the size of your Azure subscription and the resources it contains.
Here are the key steps to help you navigate this process:
The Reactivation in Progress Azure is triggered when Azure detects a mismatch between the subscription's state and the actual resources being used. This can happen due to a variety of reasons, such as a recent change in subscription ownership or a billing issue.
To monitor the progress of the Reactivation in Progress Azure, you can check the Azure portal for updates on the status of your subscription. You can also use the Azure CLI or PowerShell to get a detailed report on the reactivation process.
The reactivation process involves several stages, including validation, resource synchronization, and billing verification. Each stage may take some time to complete, so be patient and keep an eye on the Azure portal for updates.
Request Syntax

To request reactivation in Azure, use the following syntax in the Azure CLI: az resource update --ids /subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/{vmName} --set properties.provisioningState=Enabled.
The Azure CLI command az resource update is used to update the provisioning state of a virtual machine.
The --ids parameter specifies the resource ID of the virtual machine.
The --set parameter is used to specify the new provisioning state.
The properties.provisioningState=Enabled parameter sets the provisioning state to enabled.
Note that the subscriptionId, resourceGroupName, and vmName variables must be replaced with the actual values for your Azure subscription.
