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.

Hello Jim,
If you Stop your VM so only the operating system is turned off. other resources are still working in the backend or you can say the resources occupy or the space-consuming charges in the Microsoft servers like VNet, Storage Account, NSG, Disks, etc. so you have to pay charges for the reserved space.
