I'm on the billing page. What option extends build minutes? how much it costs?

It [appears to be](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/devops/azure-devops-services/) $40/parallel job, each with unlimited minutes. I have not set up billing for myself so I don't know what that experience looks like.

<p>As mentioned on the <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/devops/azure-devops-services/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Azure DevOps official pricing page</a>, the plan provides 1 Free Microsoft-hosted CD/CI parallel job with up to 1800 minutes per month and 1 Free Self-hosted CD/CI parallel job with unlimited minutes per month. </p>

<p>When we exceed the limit of Microsoft-hosted minutes, what I do is configure a VM as the build agent. How can I buy more build minutes after exceeding this 1800 minutes, rather than launching VMs for agents by myself? </p>
