    Azure SQL Server pricing depends on

     

    Compute: You pay for the virtual cores (vCores) or DTUs you use.
    Storage: Charged based on the amount of data and backup storage.
    Licensing: Extra cost if you don’t have your own SQL Server license.
    Extras: Features like geo-replication or high availability add costs.


    Your free $100 ran out because your database used compute, storage, and backups, which can add up fast. You can lower costs by using smaller databases or cheaper pricing tiers.

    You can more details about Azure SQL server pricing: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/azure-sql-database/single/
