How many times approximately can I execute this Azure function each month using the free grant?

Question

I have developed a Azure function in Python and each execution costs this much resources :

As the Azure consumption plan provides a free grant of 4,00,000 GB-s / month. How many times can I execute this function for free per month? How to do that calculation?

@CSharpRocks Can you please help me calculate how many times approximately I can execute based on the above data? — dattadebrup, Jul 08 '20 at 19:17
In your situation, it is basically 1000,000 executions. Please have a look of my answer.:) — Cindy Pau, Jul 09 '20 at 01:36

For your situation, It is basically 1000,000 executions.

Free limit of consumption plan has two standard.

First:

{The computing resources(GB)} * {the time your function execute} <= 400,000

Second:

{Total execute times} <= 1000,000

From your description of your question, the spend of unit computing resource is not very large. But not matter how small of your spend of unit computing resource, it only free for 1000,000 executions.

This is the pricing calculator:

And please notice that the above free limit of your function is based on plan, but not function app. So if you have two function app, and both of them are using the same plan, then the free limit you need to calculate both of them.

Let me know whether this can answer your question.:)
