Question

Would like to check the cost for a particular Foundry Deployment/model

Hi

We tried to check the cost for a particular deployment for a particular range of date and there isn't filter to check.

Also, the numbers of token consumed and the charge it is billed for.

Hello Sandeep Sindham

While Azure AI Foundry doesn't offer a direct per-deployment cost filter within the Foundry portal itself, you can absolutely track the cost and token consumption for a specific deployment using Azure Cost Management in the Azure portal.

Checking Cost for a Specific Deployment (with Date Range):

Go to the Azure portal → navigate to your Azure OpenAI (Cognitive Services) resource.

Under Cost Management, select Cost analysis.

Set your custom date range using the date picker at the top.

Change Group by to Meter -> this breaks down the cost by model-specific meters (e.g., input tokens vs. output tokens will appear as separate line items).

You can further use the Filter option to narrow down by specific deployment if you have multiple deployments under the same resource.

This gives you a clear view of what's being billed and how much, for the exact date range you need.

Tracking Token Consumption:

Azure OpenAI provides built-in monitoring metrics to track token usage:

In the Azure portal, go to your Azure OpenAI resource → Metrics.

Select metrics like Processed Prompt Tokens (input) and Generated Completion Tokens (output).

You can filter by ModelDeploymentName to isolate a specific deployment.

Adjust the time range as needed.

These metrics show exactly how many tokens were consumed (input and output separately) over any time window.

Azure OpenAI billing is token-based — input (prompt) tokens and output (completion) tokens are metered and billed separately at different rates depending on the model.

Cost data in Cost Management may have a 24–48 hour delay, so use trend windows rather than expecting real-time figures.

For proactive cost control, consider setting up a Budget with alerts in Cost Management to get notified when spending crosses a threshold.

Hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Hi Suchitra,

I went to Azure portal and searched for Azure OpenAI (Cognitive Services) but did not find it.

However, I checked for Azure OpenAI and opened this -

There is no Cost Management Option.

So, I searched for Cost Management directly under Azure Portal Search and looked for Cost Analysis under Reporting + analytics.
Selected the resource group and checked for services. It provided

This was giving me different Foundry Models & Foundry Tools Cost. I understand Foundry Models charge is based on our usage, but what is Foundry Tools charge and how we are charged/on what basis?

Later, I choose "Visualize your costs" option.

Tried to add filter of model and there is no Model filter or deployment.

Your answer is very vague or general. Kindly provide a specific answer. If possible, I can for a call for faster resolution.
