Hello SSingh, it looks like your Logic App went offline when your free-trial subscription expired. Normally, once you upgrade to Pay-As-You-Go (within 90 days of trial end), any disabled resources should “wake up” again—unless they were actually deleted. Here’s how you can track it down and, if needed, recover a deleted Standard Logic App:

Check Subscription & Resources • In the Azure portal, make sure your subscription shows as Active under Subscriptions. • Go to All resources, filter by your subscription, and search for your Logic App or its resource group.

Verify Deletion Status • If you don’t see it, open the Resource Group (if you know its name) and look for Deleted resources (Preview). • If the Logic App shows as deleted, you’ll need to recover it; if it doesn’t appear anywhere, it may have been purged.

Determine Your Logic App Type • Consumption (multi-tenant) apps don’t have built-in recovery—you’d need your ARM template or backups. • Standard (single-tenant) apps store workflows and content in a backing Storage Account, which you can use to restore.

Recover a Deleted Standard Logic App a. Go to the Storage Account that backed your old Logic App. Under Security + networking > Access keys, copy the primary connection string. b. Under Data storage > File shares, note the file-share name (this holds your workflow files). c. Create a new Standard Logic App (same hosting option and pricing tier). Before starting it, go to its Configuration > Application settings and replace: – AzureWebJobsStorage → your old storage account connection string – WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING → same connection string – WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE → your old file-share name d. On the new app’s Connections blade, delete any stale access policies and add new ones pointing at your app. e. Restart the new Logic App. It should pull in your previous workflows from the file share.

Redeploy from Source Control (if applicable) • If you had hooked up Git/GitHub/Azure DevOps, you can simply redeploy the workflow definition from your repo.

A deleted Logic App can only be recovered in specific scenarios and within certain limits.

If the Logic App was a Standard (single-tenant) logic app and was deleted, recovery depends on:
- Whether source control was used.
- Whether the underlying storage account still exists.
With source control:
- For a Standard logic app on a Workflow Service Plan or App Service Environment v3, the documented recovery method is to redeploy the logic app from source control or previously downloaded artifacts.
Without source control (Standard logic app on Workflow Service Plan):
- Recovery is only possible if the storage account used by the logic app still exists.
- The documented process is:
  1. In the Azure portal, locate the storage account referenced by the AzureWebJobsStorage app setting of the logic app.
  2. In that storage account, under Security + networking > Access keys, copy the primary connection string.
  3. Create a new Standard logic app with the same hosting option and pricing tier.
  4. Disable the new logic app.
  5. Under Settings > Environment variables > App settings, replace:
    - AzureWebJobsStorage with the copied connection string.
    - WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING with the same connection string.
    - WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE with the original file share name from the storage account’s File shares.
  6. Recreate or fix any connections and access policies as needed, then restart the logic app.
- Note: Run history and original Request trigger callback URLs are not recoverable.
If the Logic App was hosted as an App Service app and actually deleted as an app:
- It can be restored only if:
  - It was not on Free/Shared tiers, and
  - It was deleted within the last 30 days.
- In that case, use App Services > Manage Deleted Apps in the Azure portal to restore it, or use the Az PowerShell module.
If the subscription or resources were removed when the free trial ended and:
- The logic app resource was deleted and
- The storage account or app has been purged or more than 30 days have passed, then the logic app cannot be recovered by the documented methods.

If the Logic App no longer appears under Manage Deleted Apps and the original storage account/file share are gone, the only supported option is to recreate the Logic App (ideally from source control, if available).
