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.

Hi you will be charged for 3 hours but even if your vms are turned off the disks still take space and you are charged for this . Same for all services consumed by the Virtual machines like some networking services and unfortunately it is impossible to stop them. The good news is they don't cost a lot.
