Is this phishing?
mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons is a legitimately used Microsoft sending address.
As for why its sending you an email, likely because you are nearing the end of your initial 30 days on the $200 azure credit (at least thats what I assume your using). The trial azure subscription and $200 credit expires at the end of 30 days, and to continue using it you must upgrade the trial subscription to an actual Azure free account where you'll have continued access to free services for 12 months. You'll only get charged for usage beyond the free services and their allotted quantities. For more information about this you can see the following Microsoft Documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/avoid-charges-free-account
