Issues with Azure Credits for Claude on AI Foundry

Companies using credits bundled with Microsoft for Startups have found some unwelcome surprises on their credit card statements after deploying Anthropic's Claude via Azure AI Foundry. It appears that the promotional credits included in the Microsoft for Startups offer are not valid for this specific Claude integration.

This situation has caused frustration among users, who have found themselves having to deal with unexpected charges and navigate between the Microsoft and Anthropic support teams to resolve the issue. The issue raises questions about the clarity of the terms of use of Azure credits and their applicability to specific services such as Azure AI Foundry.
