Can I switch back to Free during off-peak hours and switch to Basic once traffic is up?

Hello,

I have a website hosted on Azure. But there are times that it has no traffic during off-peak hours. However, since it has a lot of images in it, during peak hours I can consume the 165MB/Day limit of the free tier in just a few hundred requests. Can I switch from Free to Basic during peak hours with unlimited data and back to Free during off peak to save costs? Are we allowed to switch between different pricing tiers as much as we want?

Thanks

hi sir,

Yes, you can switch your website mode by you wanted. However when you switch mode, your website will be temporary shift. I guess it may affect your website performance and runtime. And currently, you only can switch mode manually. If your subscription is free trial, you may need convert it to Pay-As-You-Go.

Regards,

Thanks for the reply. I also realized that the Free tier does not allow you to use a custom domain. So it is no longer an option.
