I am new to Azure and while trying things I have created and deleted several resources and now my subscription is disable because I do not have any credits left.
I thought when I delete a resource I have created by mistake the credit will restore as well, its not true?
what should I do now?
When you create a new Azure Resource you start getting billed.
When you delete a resource the billing for that resource stops, but remember you will be charged for the time the resource was active.
If the total of all the charges exceeds your limit, the account will ask for Credit Card details to start charging it.
You can go the Cost Management + Billing section in Azure portal to get details of all the charges incurred for that Subscription.

i created a free azure account and wanted to create a spark cluster using microsoft.HDInsight
everything worked perfectly until i reached configuration + price step.
i got this message. -on this screen shot-
"You have reached the core quota limit of your subscription in France Central. Choose another region or ask billing support to increase your limit for France Central".
i have tried changing to multiple regions but i always get the exact same message.
how can i solve that ?
i would highely appriciate any help :)
So i have found that it is quiet impossible to request to increase the core quota using the free subscription, following the steps of the answer that #HariKrishnaRajoli-MT showed, i ended up geting that message.
"Your free trial subscription is not eligible for a quota increase. To request a quota increase, first upgrade to a pay-as-you-go subscription"
Azure Portal > Click on Help + support icon > create a support request:
Select your required service like HDInsight for which you want to increase the quota and Issue type is service and subscription limits (quotas)
Fill the details and submit, they will contact you over email or phone in their business working hours regarding the location and case status.
Note: Free Trial subscriptions aren't eligible for limit or quota increases. If you have a Free Trial subscription, you can upgrade to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription.
Here is the Microsoft Documentation that shows the Services and Subscriptions Quota Limits of Azure.
I have a monthly spending limit of $150 Azure credit on my subscription and it is for free. However, I just went over it and I am wondering what happen to my charges and subscription? Will I get charged separately from $150? Will Azure services shut down in order to stop incurring charges?
Will Azure services shut down in order to stop incurring charges?
Yes. Once you exceed your spending limit, your subscription will be disabled and as a result of that your services will become inaccessible. Your subscription will be enabled automatically on your next billing start date.
I'm trying to create an Azure policy which would deny creation of any resource that's not covered by my MSDN subscription 130€ monthly quota. What happens is that I inadvertently create a resource which is not covered by MSDN subscription monthly quota, which leads to my Azure subscription being disabled the next day, and it remains disabled until the end of the monthly billing cycle. I raised a support issue with Microsoft, but they refused to help (because they are tring to get customers credit card data, which would remove the spending limit, and that's something I don't want to do).
Azure policy is not design to enforce billing quotas billing, it more for setting guidelines/policies about what can be deployed in subscriptions in your tenant.
MSDN account will cap at a certain amount, you can keep use the 'budgets' option on the subscription to keep track of how much you are spending.
Most 'enterprise' cloud providers are Pay-As-You-Go so no one is going to guarantee you a fixed price. You can also use the Azure Calculator to get an idea of what setup and consumption will let you stay under the MSDN quota.
I am new to Azure. I have create Azure free account.
I like to migrate production database to Azure Cloud, and found Managed Instance as perfect choice (as per documentation). Before migration i want test it out, but not sure if this service is free or not.
It shows Subscription as Free Trial and
in Pricing Tier section it shows 16vCore and 32GB Storage selected.
So, my question is that - will i be charged if i create SQL Server Managed Instance in trail period?
While using the trial period your credit card won't be charged. When the trial ends, if the product is still in Preview, you will enjoy that it cost half the price. At the time of GA it will have its full price.
While you use it with the trial account, you may noticed that you cannot create a managed instance in all regions where is currently available. That is normal while you are using the trial/evaluation account.
If you are wrongly charged for any reason, create a billing support ticket which is free. You can also create a billing support ticket to confirm the information here provided.
Problem
We deploy a mixed SaaS, PaaS, IaaS solutions on Micorosft Azure. Recently our account was suspended due to a Microsoft credit limit.
1) The account billing and technical contact received no warning of the approaching credit limit. When the account was suspended alerts were raised instantly. In response I simply lifted the credit limit and the account was accessible again.
2) All VMs could then be started again within seconds and thrid party add-ons were operational automatically.
3) Cloud Services were displayed but all the web/worker role instances in each were stopped. On attempting to start it was clear the deployments had been deleted !
Questions
Does any one know or understand why the deployment packages are removed when an Azure account subscription has been disabled ?
VM, storages accounts, add-ons are persist so why delete the cloud service instances / deployment packages ?
Anyway to mitigate this issue ?
Result is 60 min downtime to upload and deploy packages from source control. Examining enterprise accounts and invoicing.
Thank you for any advice.

Currently, subscriptions which has monthly credits such as MSDN, MPN and Bizspark plus has a feature called spending limit. This feature is enabled by default to prevent any charges on your credit card. When this sending limit is triggered, the subscription is disabled for the remaining billing cycle and will be automatically re-enabled when the credit is reset which is on the start of the new billing cycle.
When the subscription is disabled, Cloud services (web and worker role) deployments are deleted as only the deployment file is uploaded on Azure and the source file would still be available by the developer. However, Virtual machines are created within Azure platform, hence VMs are stopped de-allocated when the subscription is disabled. The web services deployments are dealt with differently i.e they are deleted it’s a legacy of how the platform was built and is scaled.
The Azure portal shows the credit utilized and remaining balance for the subscription and notifying the credit status over email is still not available. However, when the subscription is disabled, a notification is sent to the account owner.
Possible mitigation involves:
moving to standard payment terms , away from pay-as-you-go account.
remove the credit limit
possibly a continuous deployment strategy via Team Foundation Server or the like could automate redeployment (no doubt there are other automation methods too).
Unfortunately if the Azure subscription is suspended service deployments are deleted and must be uploaded again. If you have multiple large deployment packages this could take many hours.
Hope that helps someone.
Additionally, if you have shared websites, they will get suspended. There is no way to resume them until the credit period is reset, so you need to delete and recreate them.
