Consumption of Microsoft Azure resources with the included quantity

The Microsoft Azure service may offer the included quantity of a resource that can be consumed for free every Billing period. The quantity of such a resource consumed above the included must be paid by a customer on a common basis.

While processing the consumption statistics received from Microsoft, the platform checks whether the included quantity is offered for a resource. If the included quantity for the resource is greater than 0, for the consumed quantity within the included limit, the cost is set equal to 0. If the consumed quantity exceeds the included limit, the platform generates two records: one record is for the part within the limit of the included quantity and uses the cost equal to 0, and another record is for the part that is greater than the included limit and uses the cost calculated on a common basis. Further consumption of the resource until the end of the Billing period is charged on a common basis. In the Consumed resources table, the resource consumption records within the included limit are displayed as follows: Price = 0, Total = 0.

Consumption of resources from third-party marketplaces

Any information received from Microsoft about consumption of third-party resources that are not included in the Microsoft price list is ignored by the platform and not displayed.
