Azure SQL Database scaling and cost

Question

Could someone confirm when scaling both up or down of an azure SQL database does the pricing / cost change. Is it from the moment you start the scaling or the moment the scaling has completed?

Important to understand given the costs are rolled up to the hour and larger databases can take a while to complete the scaling process.

Hi @jase jackson USA , thanks for your patience, we received the reply from product group.

Pricing or cost change triggers after scaling is completed, not at the time scaling is initiated.

Please let us know if this helps or you need any other information.
