Deactivate advanced data security

Question

I am running a small Azure instance as a playground that I rarely use. But I'm paying for:

Which I really don't want, because that is more than 50% of what I'm paying in total and my data is complete garbage.

How do I deactivate that? I found multiple places where it should be, but it got moved around over the years and I can't find it anywhere:

• I can't change my security center pricing, at some point it apparently was part of that?
• Databases used to have an "advanced data security" tab. Not any more.

Answer 1

I think I found it:

Go to your database -> Security -> Security Center -> Turn off the entire Azure Defender here. It might be activated in general or on database level, maybe both.

And remember kids, don't accept "free" services from a stranger. They will make you pay for it, even if their strategy should be to just be happy when people want to get into their tech stack.

EDIT: I really wasn't billed for the advanced data security. But only once:

Now the database says that I have the Defender configured, but I really don't.

When I click on it, I'm told to activate the defender:

I am speechless. It's just a couple of bucks, but just how much money are companies paying for stuff they don't really want..
