How to download a consumption report for pay-as-you-go subscriptions

Overview

For pay-as-you-go subscriptions (Microsoft Azure Plan, Amazon Web Service, Google Cloud Platform), detailed consumption reports are available with daily granularity in .xlsx or .csv format. You can generate reports immediately or schedule automatic report generation for the previous month. One report can include one, several, or all your pay-as-you-go subscriptions within a product.
