Hello kuldeep Singh,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you upgraded your SQL DB from General Purpose Tier to Hyperscale and price increases unexpectedly after upgrading to the Hyperscale tier.

Hyperscale pricing can vary based on several factors, including the number of vCores, storage used, and any high availability replicas which was not put into consideration in your price analysis at initial stage - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/azure-sql-database/single

Also, Microsoft recently announced changes to Hyperscale pricing, which might affect your costs - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/azuresqlblog/azure-sql-database-hyperscale-%E2%80%93-lower-simplified-pricing/3982209

If the price changes are unbearable, I recommend reaching out to Azure Support via your portal for a detailed review of your billing and to ensure there are no unexpected charges.

I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions.

Dear kuldeep Singh,

Thank you for your feedback.

You might be very annoyed, I understand how you felt, and I understand your frustration with the pricing discrepancy. These are a few steps to help resolve this issue:

Ensure that the pricing calculator and the portal are set to the same region and configuration settings. Check for any additional costs or hidden fees.

Look at your detailed billing statement to identify any unexpected charges. Compare your actual usage metrics with the configuration used in the pricing calculator.

Contact Azure Support via your Azure Portal if the discrepancy persists.

However, to address discrepancy between the listed cost (INR 12,202) and the actual cost (INR 18,273) for one core.

Ensure that the pricing calculator and the portal are set to the same region, number of vCores, storage size, and high availability options.

Look for any additional costs that might not be immediately apparent in the pricing calculator, such as backup storage or data transfer.

Thank you.
