Mar 12, 2026: Investigate cost anomalies using hourly consumption by service type¶

When investigating a cost anomaly, you can now view hourly consumption broken down by service type. This enhancement lets you see which service types (for example, AI_SERVICES) are contributing to your consumption during each hour of the day, making it easier to identify the root cause of a cost anomaly.

You can investigate hourly consumption by service type using Snowsight or SQL.

• Snowsight web interface: When you investigate an account-level anomaly, the Top consumption drivers section now shows consumption broken down by the top service types for each hour.

  For more information, see Identify and investigate cost anomalies with Snowsight.

• ANOMALY_INSIGHTS class: A new GET_HOURLY_CONSUMPTION_BY_SERVICE_TYPE method returns the hourly consumption for a given day, broken down by the top service types.

  For more information, see Hourly consumption by service type.
