FOCUS column

CommitmentDiscountId

The identifier of the commitment discount that applied to the charge: a reservation, a savings plan or a committed-use discount. It links every discounted usage row, and every purchase or unused-commitment row, back to the commitment that caused it, which is what makes commitment allocation and utilization reporting possible.

Example

The hourly rows a savings plan covered and the row for its unused portion all carry the same plan identifier here.

Where it comes from, per export

The export column that feeds CommitmentDiscountId in each format the platform ingests, and the transform applied. A format with no row does not carry the column; the value is then absent rather than guessed.

How Runcost uses it

Runcost allocates the discounted rate to the consumers whose usage a commitment covered and carries the unused remainder centrally, keyed on this id.
