FOCUS column

CommitmentDiscountQuantity

The quantity of the commitment that the row represents, in the commitment’s own unit: hours of an instance for a usage commitment, or an amount of spend for a spend commitment. Summed over a period, it shows how much of the commitment was consumed against how much was bought.

Example

A row for one covered instance hour under a usage commitment carries 1 here; a savings plan row carries the covered spend amount.

Where it comes from, per export

The export column that feeds CommitmentDiscountQuantity 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.
