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?
In the App Service Plan section, select an existing plan, or create a plan by selecting Create new. When creating a plan, you can select the pricing tier of the new plan. In Sku and size, select Change size to change the pricing tier.
Quickly create powerful cloud apps for web and mobileOur Free and Shared (preview) plans are ideal for testing applications in a managed Azure environment. Basic, Standard and Premium plans are for production workloads and run on dedicated Virtual Machine instances.
An App Service plan represents a set of features and capacity that you can share across multiple apps in Azure App Service, including Web Apps, Mobile Apps, Logic Apps or API Apps. These plans support 5 pricing tiers (Free, Shared, Basic, Standard and Premium) where each tier has its own capabilities and capacity.
Recommendation. Consider using an App Service Plan with at least two (2) instances.
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.
