Azure VM showing up in billing even though I'm under 12 months free usage?

I've created an Azure Linux VM under the free trial, which expires in a week.

For 12 months, I have 750 hours monthly free for Linux VMs.

But this is still showing up under cost by resource? Shouldn't it be free? I have only one VM running so it shouldn't have exceeded the 750 hours/month.

It's also saying "Not in use" for Virtual Machines here, so I think somehow the VM isn't a part of the 12 month free period.

    Within free trial, you will get a single B1S Standard tier VM and a 64GB managed disk. Make sure that, your VM is created within the trial offer.
