Not Aws Its Azure

r/developersindia Join u/Teleyks • Fresher • 12h Azure - racked up a masiive bill of 34,000 USD / 28 lakhs INR - HELP Help 1 am doing my undergrad in ENTC and for one my projects I tried to use Azure Open Al services. I first used the free trial which got over almost immediately and then I picked the pay as you go subscription because there was no other option available. I tried to deploy chat gpt 3.5 but didn't connect to any API and didn't use any tokens either. Even completions didn't show anything. Before using azure I did watch a hour long deployment videos none of which mentioned these costs and these costs were not visible. I also set a 20 USD limit on my credit card and thought that any charges would be automatically cancelled since I've set this limit and so the amount CANT go through but realised later that the bill cycle was monthly and I was wrong. A week after creation of this, I rechecked my azure account only to realise that there was a 28 lakhs bill. I have since deleted the resource and deployments. After some research I found out that I picked the PTU option and not the standard. And that has charged me hourly for a week straight. I have raised a ticked to Microsoft. I am unemployed and in university and I don't have any way of acquiring this kind of money. Please help
