Will I be charged for my Azure Virtual Machine?

I'm new to Azure, I'm only testing it out for a bit by making a Virtual Machine. I had a free trial for a few days, the site said I could change to Pay As You Go and keep the £150 free usage on the account. I can no longer see this. Also, the VM I chose said it was about £850 a month, I'm worried that I will be charged for this even though everywhere online said Azure is completely free for one month.

My account page says I've been charged about £5 so far for the time logged in, which I assume is coming out of the £150 credit I was given. Basically I'd like you to confirm that I will not be charged about £850 for all of this after a month.

If I will not be charged, then my next question is, do I need to cancel the subscription the day before the month runs out? Because if I do not, will I be charged a lot of money? I just wanted to give Azure a quick try but I'm worried now because my account seems to suggest I'll have to pay for all this. I will delete and cancel it right now if I can avoid all that cash being taken out.

Thank you for your time.

    Your mssg is the same mssg you posted earlier but you deleted it. My response to that mssg is still up here, though, so that response of mine is still relevant (it says " I'm looking at that link now, I can't see anywhere where it says if it is, or is not in the trial"). Never mind, I will find out through other ways.

    It says I will be charged about £5, but I was charged about £25 yesterday for 'Developer Support' which I didn't sign up to and the price was never listed on my fees page. So the fact that £850 is not listed on the fees page does not necessarily mean I won't be charged it, it seems.

    Because £25 was never listed on the detailed Azure fees page.

    OK I have created a support request so I am now waiting to be contacted, you have been very helpful. I have a new, related question please? For you or anyone else -

    Is it possible for someone to use an Azure Free Trial subscription and be charged for a Standard_NV6 virtual machine in the first week?

    Thank you for your time.

    I figured someone would know the answer to this yes or no question. But ok, cheers.
