Databricks System Tables for Cost

Databricks system billing tables provide account-level records for usage and cost. They can be queried to attribute DBUs and related charges by workspace, job, cluster, SKU, or tag.

The system.billing.usage table records billable usage by time period and SKU. The system.billing.list_prices table provides list-price records that can be joined to usage for an estimate. Contract discounts, cloud infrastructure, and other charges may not appear as a single value in these tables.

Use the tables to build a baseline, identify changes, and compare usage with an invoice. Filter by date and account for the reporting period, then group by SKU or custom tag to find the source of an increase.

Databricks documents system tables and the billing usage table.
