the end of the month, just reduce the number of nodes by one and try

<li>With MSDN Enterprise you can actually afford 11 instances for your
monthly credits - but since you may only have a maximum number of 20
cores (i.e. 10 F2-instances) per region you'll have to create a
second pool in a different region (e.g. North Central US) for the
11th instance.</li>

3 instances won't work: this costs more than 50$ due to the way the
storage is billed by azure)</li>
