I've create a resource of SQL managed instance with the new offer of free vCore 720 hours/month for 12 months. But after 2 weeks the database stoped saying I got the vCore 720 reached. Is that right? I've created just 1 database in the instance.

    Hi Társis Francke Ferreira •, The monthly free limits include 720 vCore hours of compute and a maximum size of 64 GB of data (though since system files can take up to 32 GB of storage, the available storage for user data could be less than 64 GB). Check the storage of your database. Once you reach the monthly free vCore limit, the instance is stopped with a status of Stopped - Insufficient credit and a banner on the Overview page of your instance in the Azure portal gives you the option to create a new paid instance. Please note, once you have credits available again at the beginning of the next month, the instance is started automatically at the next scheduled start. You can also stop the instance manually at any time to avoid using up your free monthly vCore hours. Thank you!

    Hi Társis Francke Ferreira

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    As I understand, you have created a resource of SQL managed instance with the new offer of free vCore 720 hours/month for 12 months. But after 2 weeks the database stoped saying I got the vCore 720 reached.

    I would recommend you to please file a support ticket for deeper investigation and in case if you don't have a support plan, do let us know here so that we can check on other options to unblock you.

    Thanks
