 Azure SQL Database computes your total used backup storage as a cumulative value. Every hour, this value is reported to the Azure billing pipeline. The pipeline is responsible for aggregating this hourly usage to calculate your consumption at the end of each month. After the database is deleted, consumption decreases as backups age out and are deleted. After all backups are deleted and PITR is no longer possible, billing stops.

-> Backups of a database are retained to provide PITR even if the database has been deleted. Although deleting and re-creating a database might save storage and compute costs, it might increase backup storage costs. The reason is that the service retains backups for each deleted database, every time it's deleted.

 Azure SQL Database backups are managed entirely within Microsoft-owned Azure subscriptions using secure, internal Azure Storage accounts. These backups are not accessible externally, ensuring strong data isolation and protection. Within Microsoft, only backend services such as the Backup-Restore service has access to create, copy or restore these backups. Microsoft engineers, including developers, do not have standing access. To minimize exposure and maximize security, Microsoft can only obtain Just-In-Time (JIT) access under strict audit controls when absolutely necessary to troubleshoot specific customer issues.
 
+Backups are automatically deleted after the retention expires.

 ## Compliance through backup retention 
 
 If the default retention doesn't meet your compliance requirements, you can change the PITR retention period. For more information, see [Change the PITR backup retention period](automated-backups-change-settings.md#change-short-term-retention-policy).
