I am new to cosmos db and I realised after creating my database and after having it running for a while that it would be more cost effective if it would be running a serverless account. Is there a way I can change it? If not what would be the recommended approach to create a new account with the same name and migrate the data over.

    @YM185 Thank you for reaching out.

    Thank you for exploring Azure Cosmos DB, you cannot change an existing Azure Cosmos DB account to a serverless account directly. However, you can create a new serverless account and migrate your data over.You can create a new Azure Cosmos DB account with serverless and migrate your data to the new account.

    See this documentation. https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/how-to-migrate-desktop-tool?tabs=azure-cli
