Microsoft wants money for a free subscription

Question

Microsoft

After the article How to get + 25MHs.. I decided to register a "free" subscription to Windows Azure.
Including indicated the card and personal data. I was surprised that at the end of the month the card was billed for 27,000 rubles for a free subscription. Fortunately, this map is always empty. I will give a screenshot of the letter:


I phoned the bank, they advised me to block the card, and in addition they said that MS could act through the police, which would disturb me.
Who can enlighten me on what to do with MS, the police and what consequences I can expect if I refuse to pay.

Answer 1

Probably you canceled the limit on debiting from the card on the portal. Initially, the write-off limit is set to zero, and if the consumption of resources allocated by the subscription is exceeded, these same resources should be canceled until the beginning of the next month. That's what they say on their website.

Answer 2

Have you mined a lot of bitcoins? Maybe pay for them?

Answer 3

It's like you exceeded resources by 27k rubles in just 2 months just by studying the functionality of 1C-ki?

Answer 4

In general, it is not clear where the figure of 20 free cores came from. In an article about bitcoins, they appear from nowhere without any justification at all.
If you read what is written on the Free version page , then it says in gray and white: “750 hours for small computing operations per month.”
And a “small computational operation” (they translated a pancake) is an ordinary small instance (1 core). 750 hours is approximately a month of round-the-clock work. Anything over used is paid.
(A similar scheme is used by Amazon Web Services - there ~ 750 hours / month. t1.micro instance is free for a year)
But Microsoft went further and allowed the use of not only small instances, but also any others, with a coefficient corresponding to their number of cores. Thus, 750 hours per month for 20 cores - ended in less than two days (37 hours per core) and the rest of the month they worked - they worked for nothing (the next month, again, a day and a half were free).
All this is perfectly described in the offer of the free version, which is always good to read before taking free cheese: 90-day Free Trial (although MS did everything to make it not so easy to find). Miracles do not happen, and in the end, you have to pay for everything.
