Do I get alert and confirmation once I use up 200 free credit and start to be charged after upgrading to pay-as-you-go?

Question

I just start creating free Azure account and upgrade to pay-as-you-go with the free 200 credit.

However, I wonder if I use up all 200 credits, do I get alert about the bill, or system will just charge me without notifying?

I am just afraid that I am a newbie with azure and it might cost me millions because I didn't notice all 200 is fully consumed...

Answer 1

the free credit has a spending limit. if you do not setup a pay as you go account, you will not be billed. if you use up the credit and have not enabled a pay as you go plan, the the services will be stopped.

many services can eat your credit pretty quick. use server less resources (database, web app, etc) when possible. use containers instead of VM's.
