Hello,

As shown in the 12 months free services of Azure, I find SQL database with a capacity of 250GB. However, when I created an SQL database from portal, I am being shown that I will be charged at least 300 rupees for a month for a basic plan of 5 DTUs and 2GB storage.

Am I doing something wrong. Please help me, I am new to the Azure environment.

    Hi @Kartik K

    Can you confirm that you never paid for Azure before? Free Azure services only applies in that scenario.

    The Azure SQL Database plan you were looking at is the Basic one, with the free service, you are entitled to use the Standard S0 with 10 DTU.

    250 GB of SQL Database standard S0 instance with 10 database transaction units 12 months
