I’m using Microsoft for Startups Azure sponsorship credits and want to plan useful workloads without creating duplicate resources or unnecessary spend. I can’t find a reliable way to verify how the milestone rules apply.

Could Microsoft clarify:

  1. Is the milestone deadline 180 days from business verification, or is it tied to the displayed credit expiration date? Where can a participant confirm the account-specific deadline?
  2. How are five qualifying services/workloads counted when multiple Azure services support one application? In particular, how are Azure Container Apps, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Azure Container Registry, Azure AI Foundry/model deployments, Blob Storage, Key Vault, and Azure Monitor/Application Insights grouped?
  3. Is the $1 threshold per service per day, by calendar month, cumulative over the 60-day period, or measured another way? Does eligible consumption offset by startup credits count? What resets the 60-day period if usage pauses or a service is substituted?
  4. Is there an authoritative portal counter or supported API for recognized workload count and progress? If this is account-specific, what private Microsoft for Startups Program Support channel can confirm it?

I’m looking for official documentation or guidance and do not intend to create artificial usage or unnecessary resources solely to qualify. Please avoid posting account-specific details publicly.
