Hello.
Sorry for the beginner question.

As the title says, I operated Azure with a pay-as-you-go subscription to study.
Since the usage fee suddenly increased, I deleted all resources.
When I looked at the cost analysis screen after 4 or 5 hours, it was still increasing.

I was scared and canceled my subscription.

Question 1.
Will it continue to grow even if all resources are deleted?

Question 2.
Is it okay to recognize that if you cancel your subscription, your billing will definitely stop?

"After cancellation, billing will be stopped immediately." Is this true?

    @岡部　泰文 Thank you for your patience!

    To answer your question about increase in usage fee, it depends on what type of resources you are using. Cost of resource differs based on region also there are resources for which you get billing for the primary resources as well as the underlying resource.

    For example: When you spin up a VM, you will be billed for compute (VM) plus the underlying storage account. Even when you stop the VM, your compute cost will be stopped. However, the underlying storage account will still be billed as long as there is data in it and the storage account is active.

    Question 1.
    Will it continue to grow even if all resources are deleted?
    Answer: Hope my response above answered it

    Question 2.
    Is it okay to recognize that if you cancel your subscription, your billing will definitely stop?
