Azure subscription disabled — unable to pay locked invoice or create a support ticket

Question

Azure subscription disabled — unable to pay locked invoice or create a support ticket

Name F 0

My Azure subscription is disabled. When I try to reactivate it, I’m asked to settle a past-due balance.

The overdue invoice has Locked status. Clicking Pay now displays: “You can't pay this invoice in the portal. Please contact Azure Support for assistance.”

However, every attempt to create a billing support ticket redirects me to tutorials and help articles, with no way to submit a request.

How can I contact Azure Billing Support, pay the locked invoice, and reactivate my subscription?

Hey there, Name F

When you create a support request, but getting stuck, please can you post a screenshot of what you are stuck on?

This will help me understand where you are at and if you need to do something before creating a support request.

Thanks,
Nathan
