Is virtual machine really really deallocated?

Update - less than 24 hours later, all VMs show as Stopped (deallocated).

My MSDN Azure account is disabled and I think the monthly spending limit was exceeded. The VM Manager shows VS2017VM stopped (but not deallocated).

However, when I look at the VM details, it shows Stopped (deallocated).

Unfortunately, because my account is disabled (I guess until the end of the month) I can't seem to try another stop to fix this. What should I do?

    A (automatically) disabled subscription will automatically have all VM's deallocated.
    The discrepancy you showed above is likely just an internal caching lag between the 2 screens, as you mentioned in your update that it does eventually show as deallocated later on.
