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.

    Virtual Machines are not listed on that page, so there for, I will be charged closed to £900 for the VM I setup I used for approx. 4 hours and then deleted and cancelled within the first week. Looks like VM prices are not included in the £150 free credit you are given on new Azure accounts as well. I have already been charged £25 by Azure.

    I am posting this information for any other beginner Azure users in the future who may be unsure of how fees work on Azure.
