I get an amount due of 15.86 euros after the free month trial. As far as I understood the first month you can use 200USD of free credit, I would like some more details on this due payment.

    Hello Alberto Caprini,

    Thanks for your question.

    It could be your Free trial credits were exhausted or a service not in scope of free was deployed. Azure also includes “Always Free” services, but not everything remains free. These are the Free services in question:

    https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/free-services

    To check exactly what caused the billing:

    Go to Azure Portal > Cost Management + Billing and Click on Invoices → View Charges to see exactly what you’re being billed for.

    You can also reach out to billing for free here:

    Regards,
