times out with a AccountCoreQuotaReached with a new azure acct visual studio subscription

I created activated my Azure subscription that came bundled with My.Visualstudio.com.

I followed the steps exactly.

When I ran it, it timed out after 30 minutes.

On the server it says AccountCoreQuotaReached .

When I look at the quotas for the batch account, I see 0 Total dedicated vCPUs.

I'm new to Azure Batch, and am unclear if I really need to "Request quota increase".

It seems like this "quick start" should check to see if the account quota is reached and fail gracefully with a meaningful exception, instead of a cryptic timeout message after 30 minutes. 30 minutes is not quick!
