How to disable Microsoft Defender for cloud on VS subscription

Question

I am using a Visual Studio subscription. My Synapse and Azure SQL resources use Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and I am unable to disable this for these resources. As a result, most of the costs are associated with Defender for Cloud, causing my VS subscription to get disabled after 15 days.

Do you have any solution for how to disable Defender for Cloud on my Azure resources?
