AWS launches Cost Explorer historical data retention for accounts in billing groups
AWS introduces historical data retention for Cost Explorer accounts in billing groups, allowing these accounts to access past billing data at their original billable rates without additional steps.
AWS announces Cost Explorer historical data retention for accounts in billing groups. Previously, billing group configuration restricted access to historical billing data (priced at AWS billable rates) for accounts mapped to billing groups. With this launch, accounts included in billing groups retain access to their historical billing data in Cost Explorer at their original billable rates. Accounts previously onboarded to Billing Conductor and Billing Transfer will gain access to their historical data with no additional action required, enabling reporting continuity for customers opting into AWS Billing Conductor and Billing Transfer. Billing Transfer is available today in all AWS Regions, excluding GovCloud, China (Beijing) and China (Ningxia) Regions.
