Azure Cost Forecasts Explode After Migration Glitch

Several Microsoft Azure customers experienced a surge in cloud service cost forecasts due to a problematic account migration from the Microsoft Online Subscription Program (MOSP) to the Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA). Automated budget alerts went off, alarming users who saw costs unexpectedly skyrocket. One user's forecast jumped from £63 to £758.71. While Microsoft claims the underlying issue is resolved, users report difficulties contacting support and some forum comments being deleted. Microsoft advises users to monitor their portals and submit support requests if discrepancies persist.
