i get an error that no vcpus are available when creating a container

I created a couple basic container with 1 cpu and 8 and 16 gigs of ram. i then tried to create a third container of any size and i run into the error that the subscription quota has zero vcpus available and to extend the quota. However there are dozens of difference vcpu quotas and the error message doesn't specify which one. I also tried to free resources by deleting the 2 previous container completely and waiting a few days. however i still get the same error and can't even create a simple 1 vcpu 8 gig container any longer. the deletions were complete, no longer showing anywhere in the account btw. i checked available cpus for region and there are some available still. if a quota needs to be extended it is not clear which one or why deleting the previous containers didn't free up resources
