Azure Event Hub | How to stop the incurring Cost on my EventHub, while not in use

Case: In a situation, you observe your EventHub namespace is still incurring the cost, even though you are not doing any operations (read/write/management) on it and your EventHub namespace has no active EventHub instances present.

 

Root Cause of the behavior: 

  • At the time of creating the Azure EventHub namespace (Basic/Standard/Premium/Dedicated tier), you may have to give pre-purchased units of capacity in terms of Throughput units/Processing units/Capacity units based on the tier you choose. These pre-purchased units of capacity controls throughput capacity of the EventHub namespace.
  • Among all the other pricing factors, cost will be incurred based on the number of pre-purchased units of capacity (Throughput units/Processing units/Capacity units) at the EventHub namespace level.
  • Here I have attached a document, referring to the Azure EventHub pricing. Pricing - Event Hubs | Microsoft Azure

How to mitigate this behavior:
