Issue/Introduction

The Azure Cost Summary Pulse report presents both the Month to Date Cost, representing the actual costs accrued so far in the current month, and the Projected Cost by Service, which estimates total month‑end costs for each service based on current usage trends.

Resolution

The Cost History report will be queried to retrieve the "Month to Date Cost" along with the "Projected Cost by Service". Both values will be displayed to provide visibility into ongoing spend and anticipated totals by month-end.

This approach ensures that users can monitor real‑time usage costs while also understanding potential future charges based on current consumption patterns.
