Hello, How are the 750 hours of free service for virtual machines calculated? Is it based on if they are powered up, etc? Thank you.

    The VMs counted under the free tier are limited with a small list. The 750 hours are cumulatively counted across all your running eligible VMs. For instance, if you have two B1s VMs running at the same time, each hour they run simultaneously counts as two hours against your 750-hour total. If you operate a single VM continuously, it can run free for the entire month. However, running multiple VMs will use up the free hours more quickly.
