I used only Azure’s free tier after exhausting my free credits last year, but on Oct 11, 2026 I received an email saying my Basic subscription was upgraded/renewed to a paid Developer Plan upfront charges with a ~$29 charge for Oct 11-31 2026.I never knowingly requested this upgrade and cancelled the subscription immediately to prevent recurring charges.
Why was my subscription moved to a paid plan without my knowledge, and can the upfront $29 charge be cancelled right away?If the amount is already charged or pending, Is it possible to cancel or reversal the applied upfront charges for the October month
How do I reach Azure Billing Support directly to dispute this? I’m a beginner using Azure only for free-tier cloud data services
