HI,
I have recently created pay as you go on Azure Machine Learning on 05/14.
I have created billing and cost alerts to the account.

However there is no analysis, no work or data upload that i have done so far and i have still been charged with INR 300.

The breakdown shows as :

  • Virtual Machine - 150
  • load Balancer - 50
  • Storage - 60
  • Others : virtual network etc.

There is no compute instance that is currently assigned as well.
Please advice if my system is idle or i am not using Azure ML do i still get charged. Also do i need to delete the storage account, VM etc everytime when i log out from the account.

Thanks.

    @Shivi Bhatia Sorry for the inconvenience this must have caused!

    Microsoft will charge you only for the services being used. For example: If you spin up a VM in Azure for testing purpose and then delete it. You will be billed only for the time the VM was active and if there is any data that's being stored as part of the VM that was deleted, you will be billed for the data as long as it is stored in the underlying storage account. When you delete that storage account and other associated resources of that VM, your billing will be stopped.

    Hope this clarifies. If you need further assistance with billing on your Azure subscription, you can reach out to Azure billing support team by raising a support request.
