The error message you're encountering indicates that there is unusual activity detected with your Azure subscription, which is causing limited functionality for resources deployed under it, including your virtual machine
My VM is disabled after restart and now suspicious activity error is not allowing me to connect or do any activity. tried talking to support they said will connect with subscription department been more then 2 hour no response.
