Azure cost management shows not supported in scope selection for azure sponsorship subscription

Question

Azure cost management shows not supported in scope selection for azure sponsorship subscription

Nicole 86

I am currently trying to view the costs of a customer to see if we can cut costs since the budget is running low.
When trying to select the subscription it shows "(not supported)" before the subscription name.
Is there a way get this to work again, or is there maybe a different way to access this for Azure sponsorship subscriptions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

To add some details:
The info icon after the subscriptions shows cost management is not supported for this account type, yet it did work a few days ago.

That’s not helping. We have the Microsoft partner, core benefits. All we get is the total usage number. But there is no way to break it down by resources or resource group so we can see the actual usage like regular invoicing . So all it shows is we have used up $1428 out of the free $2400 . There’s no way to get breakdown of which resources used what.

Thank you for your post!

I have reviewed your post and I understand that you have an Azure account with the "Microsoft Azure Sponsorship" offer per the screenshot you have shared. However, you are seeing a 'Not-supported' tag when attempting to view the Cost Management overview tab for defining scopes. It turns out that the Microsoft Azure Sponsorship offer does not yet support Cost Management data and you will need to change offers to one of the listed offers in order to obtain access to Cost Management data. Please refer to the following document here for a list of the current supported and unsupported offer types that support Cost Management.

In addition, I am sharing a document here with instructions on how to switch from a pay-as-you-go subscription to one of the supported Microsoft Azure offers to enable Cost Management data.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I'll be happy to assist you further if needed.

Thanks!

Why is cost management disabled for Subscriptions via Microsoft Azure Sponsorship? We still need to track costs so we know when we are close to using up the credits?

Found the portal to view the Costs for azure sponsorships at https://www.microsoftazuresponsorships.com/Usage.
The reason why it temporarily worked was due to a billing issue, which was resolved in the mean time.

Wow, thank you!

This should be the accepted answer, really. Have spent an hour trying to search for remaining balance of my sponsorships in Azure portal, until found this.
