title: Azure Service Bus: What is a request and a message?
body: <p>Our Application is using Azure service bus for messaging purpose. We created few topics and subscribers. We will send around 500 messages per day, but in the graph it shows hundreds of thousands of requests for 500 messages. Our billing price is also around 800$ per month. This is too much for 500 * 30 messages. I am not able to understand why the price is this much and also I want to know what does the requests in the graph mean?.</p>
  
  <p>If the reason for the price is because of number of requests then how can I reduce the number of requests?. Messages I am seeing correctly. The problem is only with requests.</p>
  
  <p>This is Just a sample Graph for your reference(Not original). In original graph I see around 100k of requests for 500 messages.
