Azure Trial Subscription - Unexpected Billing Costs

Greetings expert

I am an ex-Microsoft employee and have created tons of Virtual Machines in Azure to setup complex environments. I recently signed up for 2 trial subscriptions, and setup auto-shutdowns on VMs as per recommendation.

I received bills and my credit cards were depleted as a result. I have tried phone support and I am not winning. Does someone have an e-mail address?

I need resolved as soon as possible, as I am now unable to showcase the benefits of cloud (particularly around SIEM and XDR) as I now work with a Microsoft Partner on engagements.

Thanking you in advance.

    Hello Beystor Makoala,

    Welcome to the MS Q&A forum.

    Billing and subscription management support is available to all Azure customers. Please kindly create the Support ticket to the Billing team regarding the specified charges.

    To create a support request, go to Help + support in the Azure portal. For detailed information, see how to create an Azure support request.

    PS: you may find for which exactly resources you were billed by navigating to the Subscription | Cost analysis page in the Azure Portal.
