What does the subscription status mean - disabled? (Azure)

Question

Subscription with overdue payment, with status - disabled.

How can I cancel/delete it? I haven't used it and don't want to pay for it.

Will she disappear in 90 days, as under normal circumstances?

Also, the amount is gradually growing; it does not allow me to delete the payment method. How do I turn off automatic renewal?

Answer 1

@Roman Kravchenko If your Azure subscription has been disabled due to overdue payment, you will need to pay the outstanding balance to reactivate the subscription. Once the subscription is reactivated, you can then cancel or delete it if you no longer need it.

To cancel or delete the subscription, you can follow these steps:

Go to the Azure portal and navigate to the "Subscriptions" page.

Select the subscription you want to cancel or delete.

Click on "Cancel subscription" or "Delete subscription" depending on your needs.

Follow the prompts to confirm the cancellation or deletion.

Note that if you cancel the subscription, you will still be responsible for any outstanding charges. If you delete the subscription, all resources associated with the subscription will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

Regarding the automatic renewal, you can turn it off by following these steps:

Go to the Azure portal and navigate to the "Subscriptions" page.

Select the subscription you want to modify.

Click on "Change payment method" and select "Disable auto-renew".

Follow the prompts to confirm the change.

Once you have disabled the auto-renewal, you will need to manually renew the subscription if you want to continue using it.

Regarding the 90-day grace period, this only applies to subscriptions that have been cancelled or deleted. If your subscription is disabled due to overdue payment, it will remain in this state until the outstanding balance is paid and the subscription is reactivated.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
