    Hi,

    With Azure Free account the $200 credit is only valid for the first 30 days. At the end of the 30 days, you must upgrade to Pay-As-You-Go account. Once you upgrade, if you only use Free services and stay within limits, there will be no charge during the remaining 11 months.

    Article below will help you avoid charges:

    Create services included with Azure free account
