How to View and Download Azure Usage Details and Invoice Charges
As of October 10, 2022, Microsoft Azure Enterprise Agreement customers can no longer manage their billing accounts in the EA portal and instead must use the Azure portal.
We are frequently asked by customers how to view and download usage reports, marketplace charges, and invoices within Azure. With the deprecation of the EA portal for billing management, organizations with enterprise enrollments now have to access this information within the Azure portal.
In this post, we will provide steps on:
- How to view and download Azure subscription usage and charges reports
- How to view and download Azure subscription invoice details
