The Azure credits panel used in the Startups Founders Hub portal dashboard is not being updated and does not match the cost monitoring link. What should I trust?

The dashboard shows 0 USD usage. The link shows 600 USD.

How does it work?

    Hello Fabio Filocomo,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

    Two Separate Systems Tracking Usage

    1. Founders Hub Dashboard:
      1. Shows your startup credits allocation (e.g., $2,000)
      2. May update usage data infrequently or with delay
      3. Sometimes shows “0 USD used” even when actual usage has occurred
    2. Azure Cost Management + Billing (Portal):
      1. Shows real-time, accurate Azure spend
      2. Tracks actual billable resource usage
      3. Reflects usage against your linked subscription, regardless of credit type

    You should trust Azure Cost Management as the authoritative source.
