The Consumption tier is designed for serverless, per-execution billing and always scales automatically. Because there are no dedicated units, the capacity property must be omitted (or set to 0) in the ARM template. Any positive value is rejected. Other tiers (Developer, Basic, Standard, Premium) require capacity to specify the number of units (or a fixed value of 1 for Developer). Therefore, removing the capacity property (or setting it to 0) is the only way to deploy an APIM instance that keeps the Consumption pricing model.
