Answer 2

Hello info, in the PAYG subscription, there's no concept of making an upfront payment. The billing cycle is monthly. However, for specific services, you may do reserved instances and make payments in advance. You can explore the CSP channel to check for the supported upfront payments as outlined here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/partner-center/customers/billing-frequency-changes#eligible-changes.
