Hi

I have been trying to get in touch with billing for startups. But I can't seem to find an email or a telephone number. This is quite urgent, we have had to stop the subscription and our development of the application from being billed. I am not getting an option to raise a support ticket.

InvoiceGeni (9e128e80-3f4b-452d-a6b4-da78bbef34d2)

Can someone please help?

Thanks

    Hi Kousik,

    Thanks for sharing the screenshot. It confirms that your InvoiceGeni subscription is Disabled and the affected apps are marked AdminDisabled. However, it does not establish the exact reason for the subscription being disabled.

    I recommend these steps:

    In Azure Portal, go to Subscriptions → InvoiceGeni Subscription → Overview. Check for a specific warning or reason and whether a Reactivate option is available. Avoid reactivating or upgrading until you understand the potential billing impact.

    Go to Cost Management + Billing → Billing profiles and check your invoices and payment status. Also verify your remaining startup credits in the Microsoft for Startups portal.

    Raise a support request through Azure Portal → Help + support → Create a support request for the disabled subscription. Separately, contact Microsoft for Startups Program Support for credit extension and refund coordination.

    The documented startup support route is Program Overview → Your Microsoft Team → Get program support. If that option is missing or the support flow redirects you to Q&A, please mention this in your thread and request moderator guidance on the correct support channel.

    Keep your subscription ID and billing details within the private support request.

    Hi Kousik,I understand the urgency, especially since your startup development has been affected by the billing issue.

    I recommend contacting Microsoft for Startups Program Support through the Azure Portal > Microsoft for Startups > Your Microsoft Team > Get program support.

    If you cannot see the support option, try Azure Portal > Help + Support > Create a support request and select Billing. Billing support is generally available without a paid technical support plan.

    Explain the unexpected charges, credit expiration concerns, and subscription status. Request a billing review and ask whether any refund or additional credit assistance is available. Please note that refunds are subject to approval, and expired startup credits are not normally extended.

    If neither support option is available, ask a Microsoft Q&A moderator to help identify the appropriate escalation channel. Share your subscription and billing details privately.

    Thank you, and feel free to respond back for more assistance.
