Hi team,

We have an Azure Subscription Developer Support subscription, which we recently cancelled. We'd like to double-confirm with Microsoft that the service is fully cancelled and that no further invoices will be generated.

I haven't been able to reach a Microsoft agent at all — the support request page just loops without letting me actually submit a request. Could you please help me with this?

Thanks, Faris

    Hello @Mohamed Faris (IT Admin)

    Thank you for reaching out Microsoft Q&A support. I completely understand your concern, and I'd be happy to provide some clarification.

    Based on Microsoft's support plan billing process, once an Azure Developer Support plan has been cancelled and auto-renewal has been turned off, the plan should not renew after the current billing term ends. Any charges that may still appear would typically be related to the remainder of the active billing period, as support plan cancellations are generally not prorated.

    To double-check the status, you can navigate to Cost Management + Billing > All Billing Subscriptions and review the support plan details. If the plan shows as Canceled, Expired, or Auto-renewal: Off, that is generally an indication that the support plan will not be renewed going forward.

    I also understand that you've been unable to submit a support request because the portal keeps looping. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Since only the Azure Billing team can provide account-specific confirmation, I would recommend contacting Microsoft Support through an alternate support channel if the portal continues to prevent ticket creation.

    I hope this helps provide some reassurance. Please let us know if you have any additional questions, and we'll be glad to assist further.

    Regards,

    Venkat.M

    For an Azure Developer Support plan, cancellation stops auto-renewal when the plan expires. It does not produce a prorated refund, and billing continues for the rest of the current month.

    To verify and manage the support plan in the Azure portal:

    1. Go to Cost Management + Billing.
    2. Open All Billing Subscription or Your subscriptions.
    3. Select the support plan to open its details.
    4. Confirm that Cancel was completed and that auto-renewal is Off.

    If the portal is looping and not letting the support request submit, the documented path is to create another support request for help managing the original issue. A working path reported in resolved cases is:

    1. In the Azure portal, open Help + Support.
    2. Select Create a support request.
    3. Search for Billing and select Billing.
    4. Select the affected subscription and choose Next.
    5. When recommendations or suggested solutions appear, select Create a support request instead of opening the suggested articles.
    6. If the page loops again and shows more recommendations, select Return to support request.
    7. Continue to Additional details, complete the form, and submit.

    This is the correct route to ask Microsoft to confirm the support plan status and whether any further invoices will be generated.

    Important billing points:

    • If the support plan was canceled, billing still applies for the remainder of the month.
    • Canceling an Azure Support plan does not provide a prorated refund.
    • After cancellation of a final subscription, the billing cycle can close within up to 72 hours, so final billing information might not appear the same day.
