Hi @Fast_Lanes No, you will not be charged for the trial period on databricks usage.It's just showing the usual charges that will be charged when you will not be using trial version.

Is there a way so set DBU or cost limits so I don't get an unexpected bill?

I'm wondering if there's a way to set a monthly budget and have my workloads stop running if I hit it.
