You misunderstand the function of the credits.

The credits are to help you get your infrastructure built with less cost.

This allows you to try things and get things set up the way you want.

Servers shouldn’t be running all the time .. you deploy, test, delete everything, deploy again, etc.

You don’t leave it running unless you want it to eat your credits.

After the initial setup Azure hopes that you have built something that you will want to have continually running, which makes them money long term.

As opposed to just having users look at the price and avoiding Azure altogether.
