We’ve made a small but important change in the Azure portal for Azure Cosmos DB to make it easier to manage your account-level throughput.

The “Cost Management” section has been renamed to “Account Throughput” and can now be found under the Settings section of your Azure Cosmos DB account in the Azure portal.

What you can do in Account Throughput

From Account Throughput you can:

• View your account’s total provisioned throughput
• Set a custom throughput limit for cost control
• Keep your free-tier account safely within its included RU/s allowance

Where to find it

In the Azure portal, open your Azure Cosmos DB account from the left navigation side bar→ Settings → Account Throughput.

This update does not change how the feature works, only where you will find it and what it is called. It remains the same useful tool to help you manage your account’s overall provisioned RU/s more effectively.
