    Hi Mohamed Haneef,

    To protect customer security, Azure performs routine audits on Azure subscriptions. During audit, identified suspicious activity in your subscription.

    Ensure you thoroughly examine the Terms of Service to identify any potential violations and take corrective measures accordingly. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/

    Sometimes the Azure support team may take longer than expected to resolve issue.
