    @Scott Gao , thank you for reaching out to us. Happy to help. I see that you want to know real time cost/billing in your Azure subscription. Currently, we don't have that feature. But, you can create a feature request here.

    For now, I would recommend you to leverage Azure Pricing Calculator to estimate your up-front cloud costs. Further, you can check out Estimate the cost of your solution, Analyze and manage your costs, How to optimize your cloud investment with Azure Cost Management and Common cost analysis uses for details about how you can best use the available resources for planning your costs.

    Using Cost Analysis, you can get different kinds of advanced usage views (Forecasts and Actual costs) for Days/Accumulated/Service-wise, etc.:

    Dear HarshitaSingh

    Thanks for reply. I had read that link at before and again today. But it still not answer my question.
    I still not have invoice as not more than 30 days. Even I get the invoice, I only can know things that already happen.
    I need to wrongly pay 1 month then review at next month. If review not correct, I need to wrongly pay one month again. This is not a good idea.
    Yes, I can have a daily report. But as below picture 2. I work like usually, suddenly I spend much money but I don't know.
    I only can know problem happened from daily report at after day.
    Why I can not have a view know what is consuming money now? And a unit price beside it. I suggest have this function and submitted to Azure advise.

    Unexpected can prevent by budget, but it's another question.
    By the way, could I ask your advice why my autoscale not list my VM to allow me setup?
    Thank you.
