Why am I getting billed for Service Bus?

Question

I am receiving an invoice for Usage charges - Microsoft Azure Standard for Service Bus. I am not finding any information about this charge and nothing is listed in Subscription.

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Azure Service Bus does not charge for storage, but there is a base charge for each Azure subscription that has a provisioned Service Bus Standard namespace. This charge is not associated with specific Service Bus resources like queues or topics but applies to the overall provisioning of the Service Bus Standard namespace in your subscription.

If you have a Service Bus Standard namespace, you may see line items such as /subscriptions/<azure_subscription_id>/resourceGroups/$system/providers/Microsoft.ServiceBus/namespaces/$system under $system. These charges represent the base fee for having a Service Bus Standard namespace provisioned in your Azure subscription.
