How to temporarily re-enable a disabled Visual Studio Enterprise Subscription to backup Azure Cosmos DB.

SITUATION:

My Visual Studio Enterprise Subscription – MPN is currently disabled.

I need to backup my Cosmos DB data before migrating to a lower-cost architecture.

WHAT I NEED:

Can Azure Support temporarily re-enable my subscription for 1 day (24 hours)

so I can run automated backup scripts?

DETAILS:

  • Subscription ID: 9f316b04-5a03-40d5-ac2d-581c52426192
  • Subscription Type: Visual Studio Enterprise Subscription – MPN
  • Current Cosmos DB Account: air-cosmos-prod-db (West US 2)
  • Resource Group: air_rg

COST OPTIMIZATION REQUEST:

We are currently spending ₹13,600/month for 35 containers with provisioned

throughput model. We need to reduce this with less pricing/month while supporting

100+ containers.

Which Cosmos DB pricing model would be most cost-effective for our needs?

  • Serverless (pay-per-use)
  • Shared Throughput (shared RU/s across containers)
  • Other options?

Please recommend the most economical approach and estimated monthly cost

for each option.

Thank you for your help.
