Azure App Service Usage

Question

I have deployed my web service in microsoft azure as App Service(Basic B1). recently i observed that i was not using entire resources(CPU,Memory) in Basic B1 . so i decided to scale down my resources(CPU,Memory).

i know that Shared is the next low plan to Basic B1. But i need more Resources(CPU,Memory) than Shared plan is providing.

My Questions Are

1) is there any intermediary plan between (Basic B1) and Shared.

2) Why Azure is not costing based on the amount of the resources what i have used?

Answer 1

1) No. The tier below Basic B1 is Shared.

2) You are reserving capacity from a host. You are billed based on that. This way if your app should need more CPU/memory, it already has it available.
