Database 'dbname' on server 'servername' is not currently available.  Please retry the connection later.

I cannot create new databases on the server, nor can I modify the firewall rules. The connection error is persistant

James, I'd be happy to help but don't have enough information to comment.  Have you created an incident from the portal for this?  Please do, and then separately send me your subscription GUID and logical server name.

Thanks Guy
