    Hi Siri S

    Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    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.
