Title: Azure Budget Alerts Go Berserk After Microsoft Account Migration
Misfire

Link: https://it.slashdot.org/story/25/09/01/162121...

An anonymous reader shares a report: Some Microsoft Azure customers have had
a worrying few days after a problematic account migration caused forecast
costs for the cloud service to skyrocket, triggering budget alerts. An
alarmed Register reader got in touch after receiving warnings from Azure's
automated systems that they had significantly exceeded their budgets, and a
glance at Microsoft's support forums indicates their issue was not isolated.
The problem was that costs had suddenly ramped up. One user, with a budget
threshold of $85, received an automated alert indicating that their spend was
forecast to reach $1,027. Another said: "We're actively seeing the same
issue, costs have blown up by a crazy amount. No official notice or
announcement from Microsoft either, it's appalling."
