Or someone maliciously bypasses CF cache e.g. by parameters.
Cloud just is not suitable for any kind of volume egress. It's a death trap. Like going on vacation with data roaming enabled.
Have you contacted Azure? On one hand you owe the money “fair and square”, but on the other if I were them I’d waive an unexpected $10k bill to a good faith actor that was incurred without any proactive notification by Azure.
He did not enable alerts.
It is worth mentioning that the alert itself costs money. So if you're evaluating the alert every 5 minutes on the past 24h of data it can burn a small but surprising amount of money. From TFA it looks like that would be 10 cents per "time series". Or what I translate it to, is 10 cents every 5 minutes (*I think, but I havent used Azure in some time*). $1.20/hour, $28.80/day, almost $900/month. Not too hard to drop t…

A time-series represents a "thing you're monitoring" – in this instance, it's aggregate egress, so $0.10 per month, regardless of the evaluation period. Monitoring CPU? Another $0.10 per month. Memory? Another $0.10. Thankfully, not $900.
As an aside, their (Azure's) pricing docs are written in the same fishy way their technical docs are written (my opinion only)...

The alert emails are way more meaningful (with projected amount in subject for example) unlike generic ones from Azure Alerts, so you see a real alert and prompted to take immediate action.

Get a VPS from linode for $5 a month and it costs $5 a month.
Sure that's what i am doing. A beefy dedicated machine with no bandwidth pricing. But that also means i need to do everything by my own. I don't get any of the worry-free services of AWS.

They have transfer limits and an associated overage fee iirc. I can still see this sort of thing happening if that is the case.
(edit) looks like that's not the case, I'm sure I used to have to buy a second instance a few years ago if I did want to use more bandwidth that was allocated
