The job failed. The quota for the monthly total job run time has been reached for the subscription. To get more job run time you change to a different Automation plan or wait until next month when the quota will be reset.

While working on Azure automation.
I had set up auto start/stop for my VMs morning and night to save $$$$.
OK, once I got my monthly bill so HIGH, then I noticed by VMs running 24x7. heck.....
then saw automation job failed, reason is the subject line and as below...
"The job failed. The quota for the monthly total job run time has been reached for the subscription. To get more job run time you change to a different Automation plan or wait until next month when the quota will be reset."

 this means, change your tier for automation.
by default it is free for 500 mnts. for basic it charges $0.002 / minute. more details https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/automation/


How to change the plan

login to you Azure subscription, then select Automation on left Icons. (below screens are from new portal)

then select "Pricing tier and usage".

the highlighted 54/500, shows how much time (in mnts) it ran out of 500 (this is free one).

 now click "Pricing tier" , you will get Free and Basic. then select Basic and save.
now you are done from this disaster..


hope this helps...
