answer: Pay-as-you-go billing doesn't change the licensing terms of SQL Server. Therefore, it's subject to the four-core limit as defined in the [SQL Server licensing terms](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms/productoffering/SQLServer/EAEAS).

If the machine is offline for less than 30 days and then reconnects, the uploaded SQL Server usage will reflect the offline period, and the monthly invoice will account for it. If you keep the machine offline for longer than 30 days, the pay-as-you-go billing will resume when the machine is back online and reconnects to Azure Arc.

answer: Yes, least privilege mode is supported for SQL Server enabled by Azure Arc. Existing servers with extension version `1.1.2859.223` or greater will eventually have the least privileged configuration applied. This extension was released in November, 2024. To prevent the automatic application of least privilege, block extension upgrades after `1.1.2859.223`.

If the machine is offline for less than 30 days and then reconnects, the uploaded SQL Server usage will reflect the offline period, and the monthly invoice will account for it. If you plan to keep it offline for longer than 30 days, you should disconnect the Arc-enabled SQL Server. For steps, review [Disconnect SQL Server instances from Azure Arc](delete-from-azure-arc.md). Then reconnect using one of [the supported deployments options](deployment-options.md).
