I have noticed in the last two months, the cost of my Azure Subscription is lower than before. The cost of “Standard SSD Managed – Disk Operations” has been greatly reduced in the last two months – not sure why.

22/03 to 21/04 (Total Cost: 87.04 GBP) – Disk Operations Cost = 4.17
22/02 to 21/03 (Total Cost: 80.46) – Disk Operations Cost = 5.15
22/01/2023 to 21/02/2023 (Total Cost: 111.23 – Disk Operations Cost = 27.57

Azure is retiring the “Unmanaged” disks – Partially because the Cost of Unmanaged Disks is cheap.
