3 Months Windows Azure Trial Disabled in 3 Weeks


My 3 months trial account Windows Azure has already been disabled in 3 weeks. How's that possible? I had nothing on my project, just a simple Asp.Net web page.

I don't think anybody knew my page and made constant requests.

I can't find a statistics section on Management Portal to check what was my traffic...etc.

Does anybody know where I can check my Hosted Service's statistics?

Thanks


Solution

  • You aren't charged based on access to a hosted service (i.e. compute instance). As long as you have something deployed there, you are charged. No one can ever go to it and it still costs you money.

    At the portal, you have to delete whatever hosted services you have there in order to preserve credits. For example if you had up both a Production and a Staging instance, they would charge you compute hours for both. You have to actually delete the instances in order to conserve compute hours on your bill.

    As for stats, the only way you can get access stats that I know of is by using the azure diagnostics features. They used to have a lot more detail on their bills (in / out transfers, etc) but the bills are a lot shorter now.
