    Hello @Darran Wheeler Thank you for posting your question on the Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer any questions you may have!

    Regarding your questions:
    Why is the price different to the billed amount?

    Is it because we've used less than a single unit?

    Yes, it is possible that the price is different from the billed amount because you have used less than a single unit.

    Many Azure services are priced based on usage tiers, where the price per unit decreases as you use more units. For example, the first 10,000 units of a service may be priced at $0.10 per unit, while the next 10,000 units may be priced at $0.08 per unit. If you use less than a full unit, you will be charged a prorated amount based on the actual usage.

    In your case, the tier quantity and billed quantity are both 0, which indicates that you have not used a full unit of the service. The price per unit is $0.06354, but the billed amount is only $0.010253783, which is less than a full unit. This suggests that you have used less than a full unit of the service, and have been charged a prorated amount based on the actual usage.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions or if there is anything else I can assist you with.
