Billing for Free Trial Account.

Question

I have registered for the free trail account of Azure. I received a mandate of 200000. Please help to understand it as I don't want to reach this amount.

Hi @Rasika Mahure

When you sign up for an Azure free trial, you're granted $200 in credit to explore and use a wide range of Azure services over the first 30 days. During this period, it's important to monitor your usage through the Azure portal, which provides detailed insights into your current spend and what services are using your credit. This can help you avoid unintentionally exceeding your limit.

Please note:

If you use services outside of the free tier or exceed the free limits, the cost will be deducted from your $200 credit.

Any unused credit will expire after 30 days, so be sure to make the most of it.

After the initial 30 days, you can continue to use certain services for free for up to 12 months, within specific usage limits. Any usage beyond these limits will be billed to your account if you choose to upgrade to a paid subscription.

If you want to avoid charges entirely, we recommend keeping a close eye on your usage and setting up budget or cost alerts within the Azure portal.
