Am I charged if a VM is stopped / powered off?
Yes, charges for billable resources continue to accrue even if these are powered off.
The reason for this is because the underlying hardware and other resources that enable your VM are reserved for your VM to ensure availability when you wish to power it back on.
If you wish to stop accruing costs you will need to delete any chargeable resources in your project(s).
