I am trying to cancel my Azure subscription, but whenever I do, something called "Registers the BillingBenefits Resource Provider" is automatically initiated. Does this affect my ability to cancel the subscription, and how can I get that function to not initiate?

    The automatic initiation of "Registers the BillingBenefits Resource Provider" should not affect your ability to cancel your Azure subscription. This process is part of Azure's resource provider registration, which configures your subscription to work with specific services.

    To prevent this function from initiating, you can manually unregister the resource provider using Azure CLI or PowerShell:

    Azure CLI:

    bash

    az provider unregister --namespace Microsoft.Billing

    PowerShell:

    powershell

    Unregister-AzResourceProvider -ProviderNamespace Microsoft.Billing

    Ensure no resources from this provider are in use before unregistering.
