    Unhappy I got billed US$68 for using Azure Free Trial in less than 2 weeks!

    I got billed for US$68 for using 60+ million transactions (of Azure Storage) in less than 2 weeks!

    Anyone here got charged over the limit in Azure 90 days trial?

    MS refuse to waive my bill. Forced to terminate that account before the bill accumulates everyday.

    Tough luck! Initially, I was thinking to write an article on Azure. Have to can that idea.

    Anyone is thinking of signing up with Azure, please remember to check your billing everyday.

    They are automatic computing works done on server side scripts and DB use. You can access the DB and correct them to the amount you wish to pay.

    60+ million transactions
    Sounds like you were hammering one small system, rather than 100.

    Hello there, I'm glad you're happy with the outcome.

    If your interested in Azure, Microsoft are actually running a free Azure training course that you can take from the comfort of your home.

    The course is called Six Weeks of Azure and will be starting on the 23rd January. The project includes surgeries, drop- in labs, special offers and weekly webinars to get you up to speed and lets you pick and choose the course modules to suit your needs.

    This link explains more: http://sixweeksofazure.wordpress.com...eeks-of-azure/

    It's 100%, and run by Microsoft and I hope it's of interest to some of the posters on here.

    Thanks,

    Rich

    Did you give them your credit card info just for signing up? If so, why would you do that?
    Here are the rules, you must obey them or the gender bender will get you.

    And if you ever think of posting without code-tags, the evil monkey will come after you.
