Troubleshoot Azure reservation download usage details
This article helps you understand and troubleshoot why the reserved instance usage details download is unavailable in the Azure portal.
Symptoms
- Sign in to the Azure portal and navigate to Reservations.
- Select a reservation.
- On the reservation overview page, the default view shows usage for the last seven days. You can select Download as CSV to download the reservation's usage details.
- When you change the time range, the option to Download as CSV becomes unavailable.
Cause
Because of technical limitations, Azure doesn't support downloading data for more than a seven-day period. Lengthy periods for customers with large amounts of reservations generate large amounts of data. Returning data through APIs puts a strain on Azure resources.
Solution
We understand that customers want to download data for longer periods. However, there's currently no way download reservation usage data for long periods.
