The cost of the SQL database increases even without using it.
Hello, I'm new to using Azure and I'm encountering an issue. I hosted a small App Service with a SQL database. My project is new and not being used, but the cost keeps increasing without any usage.
My database plan:
The plan indicates that the estimated monthly cost is $4.9 USD. At the current price rate, it will exceed that. On the other hand, as shown in the graph, I haven't used any DTUs.
Do you have any idea what could be causing the cost increase?
Thank you!

Take a look at this article to analyze the cost, say any replica or other services like backup, security, retention, etc.

Kidd_Ip thanks. I read that article but still haven't figured out the problem.
I have another resource which is an App Service, but it doesn't appear in the graphs. The graphs indicate that my consumption is in the SQL Server. The consumption of the App Service is not shown in the graphs.
Finally, the cost of the App Service + DB makes sense with the current cost.
Is it possible for the App Service to be displayed in the graphs within the SQL Server?
