Newbee question on re: how billing works
I have 3 virtual machines and a virtual network. If I come in, work for 3 hours, and turn them all off I am only billed for 3 hours of work, correct?
- Dec 29, 2019Be sure to deallocate the VM’s, not just shut them down in the OS. You will be charged for the managed disk even if the VM is reallocated.

Prashant Sharma Thank you Prashant. Is there one button or powershell command I can run to turn everything off as you indicated above or do I need to do it individually each time? Thanks!

Hello Jim,
I have a PowerShell script, but Using this Script you can only turn off the multiple VMs using a single click.
According to me, there is no procedure to shutdown other services, neither manually nor by Script. Because when the machine is stopped, so these services are also in the stopped state, but Services reserved charges are ongoing not using charges.
