Reservation utilization
Average of each reservation's most recent monthly AvgUtilizationPercentage across all reservations; not a forecast or a commitment guarantee.Average across 3 reservation(s)ⓘ Why this matters
A reservation below the configured low-utilization threshold is wasting money relative to its commitment — check the table below for which one(s), and consider adjusting scope or letting it expire rather than renewing as-is.
Below 70% is flagged low — see the table below for individual reservations.
Reservations by utilization status
Groups reservations by the same low-utilization severity threshold as the hero gauge above; segments count reservations, not commitment value.3 reservation(s)ⓘ Why this matters
A large share in the most severe tier means a meaningful portion of purchased commitment is going unused — cross-check against the ranked bar chart to see which reservations to review first.

Utilization by reservation
Ranks reservations by latest average utilization, lowest first, so the least-used commitments are easy to spot; capped to the 5 lowest when shown alongside the status donut.3 reservation(s)ⓘ Why this matters
The lowest bars here are the best candidates to review before their term renews — check whether the underlying workload still needs that reserved capacity, or whether the SKU/region still matches actual usage.
Commitment utilization trend
Tracks how much purchased commitment was consumed over time — a burndown of reserved hours actually used, weighted across every reservation, not an average of each reservation's own percentage — and flags sustained decline for review.1 month(s) · Commitment Utilization Scoreⓘ Why this matters
Fewer than 2 months of Reserved/Used hours history are available yet — a decline signal needs at least 3 comparable months. This will fill in as more monthly polls complete.
Reservation orders
Lists each purchased reservation order's SKU(s) and expiry date, independently of whether utilization data has been ingested for it.3 order(s)ⓘ Why this matters
An order expiring soon with still-healthy utilization is a renewal candidate; one expiring soon with low utilization in the table below may be worth letting lapse instead.
| Order | SKU(s) | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| Standard_B2ms reserved capacity (1yr) | Standard_B2ms | 2027-01-14 |
| Standard_B2s reserved capacity (1yr) | Standard_B2s | 2027-06-25 |
| Standard_D2s_v5 reserved capacity (1yr) | Standard_D2s_v5 | 2027-12-23 |
Utilization (most recent month)
Each row is one reservation's most recent monthly average, minimum, and maximum utilization percentage; not a multi-month history — see the trend chart above for that.3 reservation(s)ⓘ Why this matters
A wide gap between Min and Max suggests uneven, bursty usage — the average alone can hide a reservation that's sometimes fully idle.
| Reservation | SKU | Avg utilization | Min / Max |
|---|---|---|---|
| resord-standard-b2ms-res-1 | Standard_B2ms | 55.6% | 46.4% / 64.8% |
| resord-standard-b2s-res-1 | Standard_B2s | 82.3% | 76.8% / 87.9% |
| resord-standard-d2s-v5-res-1 | Standard_D2s_v5 | 71.0% | 65.0% / 76.9% |
