Azure definitely has subscription types that have payment limits. I have one subscription that has some credits on it, and if I go over the limits all services are suspended (i.e. compute, storage, etc) and I can't do anything unless I add more money or wait until the next period starts and the new credits kick in.

Not all Azure subscriptions types are like this though.

It's something that's frustrated me about Azure for years. They can do it, but they won't do it for pay-as-you-go accounts.

Make a SKU that's not for production with a $100 setup fee to prevent abuse and prepaid credits for consumption.
