Anyone here got charged over the limit in Azure 90 days trial
-
I signed up for the Microsoft Azure 90 Days Introductory Special because my school assignment requires me to use SQL Azure which is only available online(no emulator is available). I got charged for $68 for using 60 million transactions of the Azure Storage in less than 2 weeks. My school assignment is just a fake website for employees to apply for medical leave. Nobody can find this website, using Google or Bing search. And this website only has 3 pages and requires login to do anything. All my classmates did not get charged except me. I want to know if anyone here got a similar experience? Well, this bad news can be a good thing for me. Because my company is tasking me to evaluate MS Azure: many of our customers are hosting our ASP.NET software themselves, they are asking if we can host it for them so that they can just log in and view the employee attendance. My company sells biometric devices and software. Luckily, I did not yet recommend MS Azure to my company; if the clients found out that they got charged such a big amount for checking employee attendance, I will be asked to leave.

I was damned pissed off when MS says my charges are valid. MS support officer emailed me last Tuesday that she will talk to the Business Desk Team again. Hopefully, my charges will be rolled back.

I had a similiar experience. I registered for the trial, set up all the stuff and few days later I was at 90% of the limit in the number of transactions. Thing is, I only did one thing: upload a .txt file to a blob and that's it. Never used the storage from code or from anywhere else for that matter. Luckily because of this I could just delete the whole storage before any charge would apply. Still, something at MS is definetely not working as it should be.
