FAQ​

When are the metric amounts (Cost, Usage, etc) for a day counted as "final"?​

You can consider numbers final for 3 days after the date. With that in mind, there is no SLA for this and numbers can change any time if there are corrections or delays that needs to be applied.

Are the reports back-filled/updated, and at what frequency?​

Cloud Analytics data is updated hourly. However, the freshness of the billing data itself is decided by the corresponding cloud service provider.

See also AWS cost data latency in DoiT Console and Google Cloud's frequency of data loads. Microsoft Azure Cost Management data is updated on a daily basis.

For backfill, see Backfill historical CUR(AWS) and Import historical data(GCP). Microsoft Azure billing data is backfilled from January 1, 2023.

What timezone are Cloud Analytics reports based on?​

Data from Google Cloud is based on the Pacific Time Zone, while data from AWS and Microsoft Azure is based on the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Timezone is used for time aggregation in reports.
