I put my telegram bot on the vm and set my price plan "pay as you go" for 20 hours and I use the bot for an hour a day to make some tasks, but i did not close it ,Is my account counted for the whole day or for the period in which I ran the bot only, knowing that I did not close the vm and leave it running all the time to ensure access to my bot at any time

    Hi @Ahmed Fathi ,

    you will be charged for the VM compute as long as the VM is in the Running state in Azure. If the VM is in the the state Stopped (deallocated) you won't be charged for VM compute.
    Please be aware you will always be charged for the storage (disk) costs no matter if the VM is running or deallocated.
