Help in Billing Invoice,

Question

Help in Billing Invoice,

Nagaraju Gangadhari 0

Hello Azure Support Team,

I am writing to sincerely request a one-time waiver for an outstanding balance of [11,700] on my account.

I am an individual user (not a business), and I was using this account for personal learning and testing. Unfortunately, I mistakenly left several high-cost resources running without realizing they were accumulating such a high charge. This was a complete oversight on my part, and I never intended to use this volume of services.

As soon as I realized what was happening, I disabled the services, and the account is now in a "Disabled" state. I have no intention of using these resources further.

Given that I am an individual user and this amount is a massive financial burden that I cannot afford to pay, I humbly request a one-time courtesy credit to clear this balance. I have already stopped all services to ensure no further charges occur.

Thank you for your time and for considering my request. I have learned a valuable lesson regarding cloud resource management and will be much more careful in the future.

Best regards, Nagaraju Gangadhari.
