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 stopped saying I got the vCore 720 reached. Is that right? I've created just 1 database in the instance.
How can I restore/start my DB ?

The following question seems similar to yours.
According to the document,
- This plan offers no cost for usage for the first 12 months.
Try Azure SQL Managed Instance free of charge for the first 12 months to get:
- a General Purpose instance with up to 100 databases
- 720 vCore hours of compute every month
- 64 GB of storage https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/free-offer?view=azuresql-mi&preserve-view=true
And,
- Your instance is stopped after 12 months.
- To recover data, migration of your instances to the new paid instance is needed.
The monthly free limits include 720 vCore hours of compute. Your free month of credits starts when you create your instance and is renewed on the same day of the following month. Once you reach the monthly free vCore limit, the instance is stopped with a status of
Stopped - Insufficient creditand a banner on the Overview page of your instance in the Azure portal gives you the option to create a new paid instance. You can restore your database to the new instance to continue your business without the limits imposed by the free offer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/free-offer?view=azuresql#monthly-vcore-limits
