Trying to find the subscription plan being

Question

I am very new to Azure. Checking on the cost and billing details... However, I could not find out information on the subscription plan I am in. How to check my Azure subscription plan?

Answer 1

Hi @Sarker, Mahbub (RIS-ATL) There are two distinct things you're probably after. The billing account type is your commercial agreement with Microsoft Microsoft Online Subscription Program, Enterprise Agreement, Microsoft Customer Agreement, or Microsoft Partner Agreement. The Offer ID is the specific plan inside that agreement, like MS-AZR-0044P for an Azure free account or MS-AZR-0003P for pay-as-you-go rates. Think of the billing account type as the contract you signed and the Offer ID as the specific line item on it. One catch worth knowing up front: the Offer ID field is only populated for Microsoft Online Services Program billing accounts if you're under EA or MCA, that field simply won't be there, and that's expected, not a bug.

Here is how to read both:

Find your Offer ID first: In the portal, search for Subscriptions, open your subscription, and look at the Overview blade. This is the fastest read because it names your actual plan. To verify: you should see an Offer ID in the form MS-AZR-####P. 0044P means you're on the Azure free account. Cross-check the code against the Microsoft Azure Offer Details page.

Get your billing account type: Search for Cost Management + Billing. If you only have one billing scope, select Properties from the left menu and read the Type value. If you have several, select Billing scopes and read the Billing account type column instead. To verify Type reads exactly one of Microsoft Online Subscription Program, Enterprise Agreement, Microsoft Customer Agreement, or Microsoft Partner Agreement. If the Properties blade isn't visible at all, that's a permissions signal, not a missing feature you need Billing Reader on that scope, since billing pages don't inherit from resource-level RBAC.

If Offer ID is blank (EA/MCA/MPA), identify the plan programmatically instead and Run:

az rest --method GET --uri "https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{sub-id}?api-version=2020-01-01"

and read subscriptionPolicies.quotaId. To verify the value maps cleanly to a known offer EnterpriseAgreement_2014-09-01 = Enterprise, PayAsYouGo_2014-09-01 = pay-as-you-go, FreeTrial_2014-09-01 = Free Trial, AzureForStudents_2018-01-01 = Azure for Students, MSDN_2014-09-01 = MSDN.

To check the Azure subscription plan:

1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
2. In the top search bar, search for Subscriptions.
3. Open the Subscriptions page to see all cloud subscriptions associated with the account.

To check the billing account type tied to the subscription plan:

1. In the Azure portal, search for Cost Management + Billing.
2. If only one billing scope is available, select Properties from the left menu.
3. Check the Type value. It shows the billing account type, such as:
   • Microsoft Online Subscription Program
   • Enterprise Agreement
   • Microsoft Customer Agreement
   • Microsoft Partner Agreement
4. If multiple billing scopes are available, select Billing scopes and check the Billing account type column.

If the goal is to review current spend for that subscription, open Cost Management + Billing to review current spend and other billing information.
