The requested size for resource '' is currently not available in location '' zones

The Problem

I am receiving the following error when attempting to deploy a Windows 10 VM of size F1S on Azure using my action pack license:

The template deployment failed with error: 'The resource with id: '/subscriptions/7d01bbc6-ef9b-4ad6-8c6e-baea1e0bd02d/resourceGroups/AzTech/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/Windows10' failed validation with message: 'The requested size for resource '/subscriptions/7d01bbc6-ef9b-4ad6-8c6e-baea1e0bd02d/resourceGroups/AzTech/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/Windows10' is currently not available in location 'eastus' zones '' for subscription '...'. Please try another size or deploy to a different location or zones. See https://aka.ms/azureskunotavailable for details.'.'. (Code: InvalidTemplateDeployment)

Attempted Solutions

First, I've ensured availability. According to this documentation, Fs-series are available in all regions.

Second, following troubleshooting steps here, I am able to confirm availability for EastUS when running Get-AzureRmComputeResourceSku | where {$_.Locations -icontains "eastus"}:

Last, I have attempted the solution here, but selecting HDD did not work.

Additional Info

In case it's useful, the template for this VM is here:

Edit 1

Following one suggestion, running Get-AzVMSize -Location 'eastus' confirms that F1s should be available:

Spot VMs are not available for all subscriptions and I presume this is your issue here, please look at the table: enter image description here

To create desired Spot VM please switch to a subscription which allows it.

I believe to get what is actually available for your subscription\location combination you should use:

Get-AzVMSize -Location %location%

Since Get-AzComputeResourceSku returns all the possible SKUs available for the location disregarding limitations of your subscription

Edit: In this case the issue was with the fact that the template was deploying a spot instance, not a regular vm, by removing the spot instance OP was able to use the desired VM size.
