Hi,
I update my credit card detail and I've been charged but I couldn't find any invoice or see what I allegedly subscribed to.

After 2 weeks I've been notified that my invoice was ready: 33.38 Euro for "Developer support subscription", Billing period 21/10/2025-21/10/2025. I could not and cannot find any trace of such a subscription and I really doubt I started it by error.

Any suggestion about how to make sure it will not happen again and getting a refund?

Thanks,

A

    Hi,

    First, please make sure your Developer support plan renewal is set to Off using instructions below. Once it has expired the monthly charges should stop.

    In the Azure portal, please navigate to Cost Management + Billing using link below:

    https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_Azure_GTM/ModernBillingMenuBlade

    On left, click Products + services -- All billing subscriptions blade. Click on context menu (three dots) to the right of the Microsoft Azure Support line and choose Change renewal setting.

    In the flyout window on right, select Off and click Save.

    The above will cause your Developer support plan to expire on the date shown and not be automatically renewed.

    Second, please carefully follow my instructions below to create new billing support request without getting stuck in endless loop. Billing support is free. You can ask engineer for refund.

    If you have issues creating ticket please let me know in a comment.

    1. Navigate to this link to start the process:

    https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Support

    2. Enter billing in the box and click Go

    7. There will be another several second delay, and then some solutions will be displayed (this is similar to above). DO NOT CLICK any of the solutions, instead click on Return to support request button in upper left corner, similar to below

    8. Now you are back at support case. Click Next button at bottom to continue to Additional details tab. Fill out information as required, one of the items you may need is your Subscription ID.

    You can open separate browser tab and navigate to your subscription in portal, the ID is there, click the copy button to the right of it, then paste it into the box on Additional details tab. Click Next to advance to Review + create tab, then click Create.

    You should receive an automated email within a few minutes and then be contacted by support within 1 business day.

    Thanks.
