Hi ,so i have 200 USD Azure credits on the free trial and im using F series VM.

Now my question is do the F series VM's come under the 200 USD free trial and once my credits are over will i be charged and will charges incur before i upgrade to pay as you go.

And will my VM's be deleted or shut down.

I just dont want any unwanted surprises when it comes to billing thats all ,so my main concern is using F series VM's during the free trial credits

Thanks a ton and any help much appreciated please

    What happens once I use my $200 free credit or I’m at the end of 30 days?

    We’ll notify you so you can decide if you want to upgrade to pay-as-you-go pricing and remove the spending limit. If you do, you’ll have access to free products. If you don’t, your account and products will be disabled, and you'll need to upgrade to resume usage.*

    Now my question is do the F series VM's come under the 200 USD free trial

    It depends on the machine size and Azure Region how much the F series VM cost. For example:

    F1 (1 Core, 2 GB RAM) with a 128 GB Standard SSD in West US is about 89 US$ per month (VM is running all the time)

    F4s (4 Cores, 8 GB RAM) with a 128 Premium SSD in West US is about 316 US$ per month (VM is running all the time)

    The Azure Calculator is helpful to get the estimated price for Azure Services.

    Hope this helps.
