Azure VM free tier limit

Link : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/create-free-services

In one of the article, it's mentioned 750 free hours per month.

and in some , it's mentioned over months.

Correct me if I am wrong 750 hours over 12 months ( 1 year ) does not seem correct.

Thanks,

Hello, @praveen D !

Thank you for sharing the link to the documentation! Edit: I'm confirming internally and it looks like @Andreas Baumgarten is correct: that's 750 hours a month.

Thanks

So my confusion is whether 744 or 750 hours limit is per month or for whole 12 months ?

Hi @praveen D & @Anonymous ,

You get 750 hours free usage of a B1S VM SKU per month.
Please take a look on this screenshot (Source: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/free-services/)

Virtual Machines = plural ... Which means 1 or more VMs. Per month you get 750 hours for B1s:
1x B1S running 24/7 (744 hours in a month with 31 days) - 6 hours"unused"
or
2x B1S running 375 hours per month = 750 hours per month in total.
and so on
