Hi -
It looks like the Development Tier has 750 core hours free each month until billing starts. That equates to one core for the entire month. I've noticed that when spinning up a Build, the lowest VM choice I have is a 2-core machine (Standard_D2as_v4).
I've also noticed that the Usage page shows those cores are consumed while the Server is in Standby mode.
If I upload a build and leave it in standby all month, should I expect I'll incur 750 hours of usage? (2 cores * 1 month = 1500 hours)
As a user, it seems odd that uploading a build to the lowest spec possible and letting it sit there would incur costs, so I think I'm probably just missing something.
To make it more confusing, the Services Summary at the bottom of the Servers page shows 750 free hours remaining, but a Last Updated date of two days ago when I joined, so I'm not actually sure how the hours are being deducted or when that number will update. Also, clicking into the View Billing Summary page right next to the Service Summary doesn't show the hours used by the Multiplayer Servers, so that doesn't help either.
Thanks!
