Billing Data Refresh Schedule and Cloud Cost Data Freshness

This page explains Costory’s billing data refresh schedule and cloud cost data freshness: when billing updates arrive, how to trigger a manual refresh, and what to expect from AWS CUR and GCP billing exports.

​
Monthly billing data refresh window

  • Costory refreshes month n-1 until the 10th of month n.
  • After the 10th, Costory freezes month n-1 so month-close numbers stay stable.
  • Providers often post late adjustments in the first few days of the new month.
If you need finalized month-close numbers, plan to review the prior month after the 10th.

​
Force a billing data refresh in Costory

1

Open the data health dashboard

In Costory, go to Settings → Data health.
2

Choose a datasource

Select the billing source you want to refresh.
3

Run a refresh

Select Force ingestion to run the latest incremental job, or Full refresh to reprocess the full period.
Full refreshes take longer and can temporarily increase processing load.

​
AWS and GCP billing data freshness

Costory refreshes billing data every morning. Because providers deliver exports with a delay, you typically see full data for d-2 and partial data for d-1, where d is today. For example, if today is the 10th, you should expect complete data through the 8th.
