Azure web app won't change from Basic: 1 Small to Free or Shared pricing tier

Tags:

azure

I'm testing different Azure web app pricing tiers. In the portal I clicked "Scale up (App Service plan)" and chose the B1 Basic pricing tier to test how the performance compared with F1 Free and D1 Shared. When I try to scale down from Basic to Free or Shared, it says "Successfully updated App Service plan", but it doesn't work. I've tried this over a week or so and it just doesn't work. I was able to switch between Free and Shared with no problems before this. Surely this is some sort of error? We must be able to downgrade?

You must turn off the "Always On" feature of the Web App from the Azure portal "Application Settings" before changing (downgrading) the App Service Plan.
