How to stop cost related to Api Management?

Question

Hi, I created an Api management for testing purposes and this is incurring in on going cost under my subscription, now I would like to stop this cost but without deleting the API, is it possible to "disable" this API without deleting it? Regards.

Hello @Israel Andres Unfortunately, there isn't a "disable" control that exists within APIM. Only the "Consumption" tier incurs no fixed costs whereas all dedicated tiers incur a minimum fixed cost every month plus any additional units/meters that maybe consumed. It's to note that if you've already created your APIM instance in a dedicated capacity, you wouldn't be able to switch between the consumption and dedicated tiers.
