Problem with my VS Subscription

Hi, I am an active MCT and my Visual Studio subscription got disabled because I reached spending limit. However, my subscription didn't get activated next month. Kindly help me out in reactivating my VS subscription. I tried reactivating from MCT benefits portal but it says you don't have azure subscription.

  • Reaching Azure’s spending limit normally disables the Azure subscription for the remainder of its billing period; it does not necessarily mean your Visual Studio entitlement was cancelled. Microsoft says recurring-credit subscriptions should reactivate at the next billing period, which may not match the calendar month. First check that your Visual Studio benefit is still active under the account used to activate it. In Azure, select the original directory and inspect the existing subscription’s status, credit renewal date, and notifications. Avoid repeatedly activating a new benefit while investigating the existing subscription. If its renewal date has passed and it remains disabled, open an Azure subscription/billing support request with the subscription identifier and screenshots privately. If the Visual Studio entitlement itself is missing, use Visual Studio subscription support instead. Removing the spending limit permits chargeable usage, so it is not a free reactivation workaround.
