CASE NUMBER: 2609280040002013
SITUATION:
I clicked a "Demo" template in the Azure Portal. It automatically
deployed an AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) cluster without my
explicit configuration. I was billed for resources I never
intentionally created or used.
I deleted the resources but continued to be billed — likely due
to the auto-generated MC_ node resource group that survives AKS
cluster deletion. My subscription is now SUSPENDED due to these
charges.
WHAT I'VE TRIED:
1. Filed support ticket → Case #2609280040002013
2. Received AI auto-response incorrectly directing me to
Marketplace/ISV support (this is a Microsoft first-party
AKS charge, not a third-party Marketplace product)
3. Called 1-800-642-7676 → Phone AI refused to connect me
to a human agent and disconnected the call
4. Posted to @AzureSupport on X/Twitter
AFFECTED SUBSCRIPTIONS:
- 92fdb8bf-ca3f-4f26-aa7f-e0b25d217d02 (SUSPENDED)
- ecd4e37a-cb8e-4eb7-9dff-289d4870e0d1

Tenant: f1beffbd-0048-48e6-8223-f3ff19d56ceb
WHAT I NEED:
1. Human billing specialist to review case #2609280040002013
2. Audit of AKS charges — I never configured or used the cluster
3. Courtesy credit for unintentional demo deployment
4. Reactivation or proper closure of suspended subscription
