This article explains how to download the Azure PAYG Price List report.
As part of the usage calculation and rating process, we use the Microsoft Retail PAYG price list downloaded from their unauthenticated API documented here.
To generate the report, we take the actual usage, match it against this price list and rate it using the quantity (from usage file) and retail price (from price list).
