Answer 1

Hey there, Nikhil Gupta

This is because the billing cycle is usually monthly. So at the end of the month, the system finalizes your charges and will produce you an invoice 72 hours later.

While my screenshot shows different dates, as I have had my subscription for longer, the current billing period is outlined for that subscription, to be a month. After the end date, it will generate me an invoice covering my charges for the services I have used. You can find out how this works using this article here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/cost-management-billing/cost-management-billing-overview

Hope this helps,
