I need help with bill waiver on my subscription but cannot open a support ticket.

My Pay-As-You-Go subscription is frozen due to unexpected charges.

I created resources for learning/testing purposes and attempted to delete them immediately. However, some resources failed to delete / remained active without my knowledge, which resulted in a large unintentional bill.

As soon as I became aware of the charges, I tried to stop/delete resources, but the subscription was already frozen.

I kindly request a one-time courtesy credit / bill waiver, as this usage was unintentional and occurred during initial experimentation.

I confirm that I will closely monitor costs and set budgets and alerts going forward. Please guide how to get this done.

    Hi Abhilasha,

    I recommend you create a new billing support request so that you can speak to billing engineer. Billing support is free.

    Please carefully follow my instructions below to create new billing support request without getting stuck in endless loop.

    If you have issues creating ticket please let me know in a comment.

    1. Navigate to this link to start the process:

    https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Support

    2. Enter billing in the box and click Go

    3. Select Billing and click Next

    4. Select your subscription from the dropdown and click Next

    5. At this point there will be a delay of several seconds, and then various options will be displayed. Click Create a support request button at the top. DO NOT CLICK any of the other options.

    7. There will be another several second delay, and then some solutions will be displayed (this is similar to above). DO NOT CLICK any of the solutions, instead click on Return to support request button in upper left corner, similar to below

    8. Now you are back at support case. Click Next button at bottom to continue to Additional details tab. Fill out information as required, one of the items you may need is your Subscription ID.

    You can open separate browser tab and navigate to your subscription in portal, the ID is there, click the copy button to the right of it, then paste it into the box on Additional details tab. Click Next to advance to Review + create tab, then click Create.

    You should receive an automated email within a few minutes and then be contacted by support within 1 business day.

    Please click Accept Answer and upvote if the above was helpful.

    Thanks.
