Create SQL virtual machine using terraform throwing error - azure

Question

Below is the complete code that I am using to create the SQL virtual machine, while creating the resources I get the below mentioned error, I tried to debug by
pinning the azurerm to a specific version,
increased the quota limit of the subscription for the location.
It was working well previously and has suddenly throwing the errors.

Running the above code throws the following error:

TLDR: It has been fixed!!
Update from Microsoft:
The fix has been released
"Hope this finds you well.
We have confirmed internally, there will be a fix for this issue soon. I will update you once it is deployed."
We have the same thing, failing on every single build, using various Terraform and Azure API versions, this started happening two days ago for us. When trying to import to state it timeouts out as well..
Error: reading Sql Virtual Machine (Sql Virtual Machine Name "sqlvmname" / Resource Group "resource group"): sqlvirtualmachine.SQLVirtualMachinesClient#Get: Failure sending request: StatusCode=500 -- Original Error: context deadline exceeded
I believe this is an API issue. We engaged Microsoft Support and they are able to reproduce the issue using this page(thank you :) ). They are checking internally and are engaging more resources at Microsoft to check it. In the meantime I don't think there is anything that can be done.
One possible work around - seeing as this actually does create the resource in Azure may be to create it using Terraform then comment out your code - and since it's not in state it wont delete it. Not pretty..
