Hello, there is no pricing information for SQL Database Long Term Retention archive tier in the Azure Pricing Calculator or Price Tables. Does anyone know this information or where I can find it?
Evidence the Archive Tier exists for SQL Database backups: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/sql/long-term-retention-backups/change-access-tier?view=rest-sql-2023-05-01-preview&tabs=HTTP
Pricing Calculator, no dropdown for access tier in the backup storage section: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/
Azure Pricing table, no archive access tier pricing listed: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/azure-sql-database/single/

Hi @Konecki, Joshua Welcome to Microsoft Q&A thanks for posting your question.
I understand your concern. Yes that API property exists and at this time the only tier available for SQL Database is "Hot". You will not see pricing for different tiers in the pricing because it doesn't exist yet.

Hello @Konecki, Joshua !
Welcome to Microsoft QnA!
Since this is Storage Related
I believe you have to look here
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/details/backup/
Instance < or = 50 GB€4.7264 + storage consumedInstance is > 50 GB but < or = 500 GB€9.4527 + storage consumedInstance is > 500 GB€9.4527 for each 500 GB increment + storage consumedExample: If you have 1.2 TB of data in one instance, then the cost would be €28.36 plus storage consumed. You would be charged €9.46 for each of the two 500 GB increments and €9.46 for the remaining 200 GB data.
I hope this helps!
