I am going to calculate Microsoft Defender for Cloud from Azure Cost Calculator

In the Cosmos DB part, I need the number of RU. I retrieve this value from my Cosmos DB resource and Total Request Units metric (sum aggregation from the last hour).
My Total Request Units are 200k in an hour.

First of all, Is it the right way to have a number of RU?
Based on the below screenshot I calculate the estimated cost. Is it okay?

( 200,000 / 3600 ) ~= 55 RU per sec

The estimate is ~0/88$

Is it correct?
