How can I completely disable Azure Bastion. I am using a student account with limited credits and am getting charged for a service that I only used once. I deleted the subnet but am still getting charged. Thanks to anyone who can help

@JarzynowskiMatthew566-6633, Bastion starts charging when the resource gets created. To stop the charge, you will need to delete the resource. Besides the normal rental, the inbound traffic is also charged. az network bastion delete --name MyBastionHost --resource-group MyResourceGroup Ref: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/cli/azure/network/bastion?view=azure-cli-latest#az_network_bastion_delete ---------- Please do not forget to "Accept the answer" wherever the information provided helps you to help others in the community.

Is there no way besides using console? I downloaded bastion not realizing it was going to charge my account 15$ basically to look at an option that doesn't work. Didn't work for my vm, ended up just having to reset my password again and was able to login via putty. So never even got the chance to use it. I downloaded from portal azure, deleted from there. And still getting charged 5$ a day. Do i need to delete my account and restart?

@JarzynowskiMatthew566-6633 You have to wait for sometime to let the command finish the job. In the meanwhile you may see that message. Please try again and let it run completely and let us know.

I ran the command again and got the same error. I left cloudshell open in another tab for about 2 hours and nothing had changed.

Can you confirm if the bastion server is still showing up in your resource group after this? Thanks!
