Hi,
Our one year is completing on 27th Feb. We have only used around 6K or available 25K Azure credits. We just recently started using AI services.
We would like to get an extension beyond 2/27/2025. Please advise.
Thanks
Brijesh Choubey

Hi Rakesh,
We have completed all items from checklist other than the 50% credit usage.
Can we get extension on date to complete 50% of allocated credits?
Thanks

Hi Brijesh Choubey,
To extend your Azure credits, you need to reach the next level in the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub program before your current credits expire. This is the only way to extend your credits, regardless of how much of the previous credits you have used.
For reference, Unlock More Azure Credits, How do I get more Azure credits?
Hi Brijesh Choubey,
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.
To extend your Azure credits in the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub, you need to progress to the next program level. Start by completing all tasks in your verification checklist, as this is required to be eligible for more credits. If your Azure credit offer is $25,000 or more, your account will be automatically reviewed 45 days before expiration based on your engagement score and task completion, and additional credits may be granted if approved. For offers of $5,000 or less, you can submit a request for more credits once your checklist is complete. Advancing to the next level in the program is the only way to extend your credits and gain more time to use them.

Please note that the only way to extend your credits is to reach the next level before your current credits expire.

I have simmilar issue. We would like to buy extension and pay it from our MS credits. is it possible or not?
Hi Kubeš Pavel BcA. (VZP ČR Ústředí),
To extend your Azure credits, you must advance to the next level in the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub program before your current credits expire. For instance, if you are currently at Level 2, you would need to progress to Level 3 to receive additional credits and an extended usage period.
If you are inquiring about using Microsoft credits to purchase an extension, we recommend reaching out to the Founders Hub support team for assistance. To submit a support ticket, please visit this page and click on the Support option. The support team will be able to provide further guidance.
