Raising costs from canceled subscription

Question

Hi
I've cancelled my subscription, don't have any active resources, resources groupos etc. and my costs rose from 22 EUR to 35EUR and still growing. WHY?
I've done labs https://microsoftlearning.github.io/dp-203-azure-data-engineer/Instructions/Labs/04-Create-a-Lake-Database.html and delete all necessary staff like it was mentioned.

Hello Kamil,

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing unexpected charges after canceling your subscription.

Potential Causes:

• Residual Active Resources: Certain resources might remain active even after canceling a subscription, leading to ongoing charges. Ensure all resources are fully deleted.
• Pending Charges: Some services accrue charges that are billed after usage. These might appear after cancellation if incurred prior.
• Multiple Subscriptions: There might be other active subscriptions linked to your account generating charges.

Recommended Actions:

1. Billing History: Access the "Cost Management + Billing" section in the Azure Portal. Review your "Invoices" and "Transaction History" to identify the source of charges.
2. Contact Azure Support: If you're unable to determine the cause of the charges, contact Azure Support directly for detailed insights and assistance in resolving any discrepancies.
