How to tie VSTS (aka Azure DevOps) account to Azure Subscription - azure

I understand how to create a new DevOps project from https://portal.azure.com and I see how that creates a new DevOps organisation or reuses an existing one (scoped to that AzureAD).
A new project is also created as well as an associated WebApps project.
These are my challenges:
When one creates a new Project in that DevOps organisation, it doesn't show up for management in https://portal.azure.com. How can one ensure the resources consumed by that project are part of the Azure Subscription to which the parent organisation is tied? Or is that the default?
What is the easiest way of tying existing DevOps organisations and projects to an Azure subscription to allow increasing the default 5 user limit and consuming more pipeline resources?
There doesn't seem to be any documentation anywhere that directly addresses these issues for me.

You may use Azure DevOps Organizations to connect your azure subscription with devops account:
Then you may use users on Azure DevOps from Azure Active Directory and manage billing (get more license):
Also you may use DevOps Project wizard to create a team project from a template:

Could not determine if Azure DevOps belongs to a Azure subscription

I am an owner of an Azure DevOps Organization - e.g. "lab.visualstudio.com". We are planning to decommission our Azure subscription. I try to find out if the decommission will affect my Azure DevOps Org.
I can see "lab.visualstudio.com" is connecting to my Azure subscription for billing purposes. However, I could not find "lab.visualstudio.com" in my Azure portal.
Is there a way to determine if "lab.visualstudio.com" belongs to one Azure subscription? In other words, how can I know if decommissioning my Azure subscription will also decommission my Azure DevOps Organization?
Thanks in advance!
Notes: I saw someone's Azure portal has their Azure DevOps Organisation on it (screenshot attached). I am wondering why mine does not show in my Azure portal.
Is there a way to determine if "lab.visualstudio.com" belongs to one
Azure subscription?
To find the Azure Subscription associated with your Azure DevOps organization, login into Azure DevOps, go to Organization Settings and then Billing. You will see the Azure Subscription used for billing of Azure DevOps organization.
You can then go to Azure Portal and navigate to the subscription and look under resources. You should see a resource by the name lab (or the name of your Azure DevOps Organization) of type Azure DevOps organization there.
In other words, how can I know if decommissioning my Azure
subscription will also decommission my Azure DevOps Organization?
Azure DevOps uses an Azure Subscription for billing purposes. If you delete the Azure Subscription that is associated with your Azure DevOps organization, your Azure DevOps organization will be immediately moved to "Free Tier". Though I have not tried it but I believe that the resources you have created in your Azure DevOps organization will not be deleted. I'm not sure what would happen if you have provisioned resources more than allowed in free tier.
You can read more about it here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/billing/billing-faq?view=azure-devops#what-happens-if-i-delete-my-organization-resource--.

Is't possible to merge two DevOps accounts?

I wish move from Microsoft personal DevOps Account to my O365 Account Tenant where I run Azure, too.
Is't possible to mantein the benefits, too?
What you can do is that transfer Transfer Azure DevOps to New Azure Account
Add a AAD member which is a Microsoft account to your Azure DevOps organization.
Add this AAD member to Project collection Administrators group.
Log into the Azure portal and connect the organization to AAD.
Then you could login to your Azure DevOps organization with AAD member
To merge two Azure DevOps account, there is no such kind of feature at the moment.

Azure Active Directory and Azure DevOps

We're planning on migrating our TFS on premise to Azure DevOps. I understand that to migrate, we need Azure AD. My question is, what would be the subscription level should I get?
I'm fairly new to this so please go easy on me. Thanks!
Do you mean Azure Subscription?
DevOps doesn't requires Azure Subscription. But if you anticipate needing to purchase any additional user plans, build/deployment pipelines, hosted build services, hosted load test services, or other developer services, we highly recommend making sure that you have an Azure Subscription ready for linking to your imported Azure DevOps Services organization once the import has completed.
You could refer to the migration guide first, which can be downloaded from website below:

Migration of Azure DevOps between two Azure CSP subscriptions

I have two Azure Cloud Solution Provider subscriptions and Azure DevOps project created around two/three years ago when it was called Visual Studio Team Services. DevOps resources (organization and project) reside on Azure for billing purposes. I want to move DevOps resources to new subscription, but cannot because of insufficient permissions - I'm missing AccountSubscriptionChange permission - how do I get it? I granted myself all permissions available in DevOps.

Linking 1 VSTS instance to multiple Azure Subscriptions

I have 1 VSTS instance, which is currently linked to 1 Azure Subscription. Now we have two Azure subscriptions:
One for Production applications.
One for Sandbox applications, where we develop applications.
Now I want to setup a develop CI build that links to our Sandbox and another master build for production releases to our Production subscriptions.
So I have two subscriptions linked to my Azure AD account:
When I look in my Team Services accounts in Azure its only linked to the Production account:
Can I link one VSTS instance to multiple Azure subscriptions that my account is linked to? These subscriptions are linked to one Azure AD account.
What you're looking at has nothing to do with what Azure resources you can and cannot deploy to -- this is just for Azure AD connectivity and for billing purposes.
You set up your Azure subscriptions for continuous delivery by creating Service Endpoints in VSTS.
