It's possible that the original billing account owner who created an Azure account and an Azure subscription leaves your organization. If that situation happens, then their user identity is no longer in the organization's Microsoft Entra ID. Then the Azure subscription doesn't have a billing owner. This situation prevents anyone from performing billing operations to the account, including viewing and paying bills. The subscription could go into a past-due state. Eventually, the subscription could get disabled because of nonpayment. Ultimately, the subscription could get deleted, affecting every service that runs on the subscription.

When a subscription no longer has a valid billing account owner, Azure sends an email to other Billing account owners, Service Administrators (if any), Co-Administrators (if any), and Subscription Owners informing them of the situation and provides them with a link to accept billing ownership of the subscription. Any one of the users can select the link to accept billing ownership. For more information about billing roles, see [Billing Roles](understand-mca-roles.md) and [Azure roles, Microsoft Entra roles, and classic subscription administrator roles](../../role-based-access-control/rbac-and-directory-admin-roles.md).
