### Understand schedule frequency

When you create a scheduled export, the export runs at the same frequency for each export that runs later. For instance, if the export is scheduled to run once every UTC day, it creates a daily export of costs accumulated from the start of the month to the current date. Individual export runs can occur at different times throughout the day, so avoid relying on the exact time of the export runs. The run timing depends on the active load present in Azure during a given UTC day. Once an export run begins, your data should be available within 4 hours. Exports are scheduled using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The Exports API always uses and displays UTC.

## File partitioning for large datasets
207203

208204
The file partitioning is a feature that is activated by default to facilitate the management of large files. This functionality divides larger files into smaller segments, which enhances the ease of file transfer, download, ingestion, and overall readability. It's advantageous for customers whose cost files increase in size over time. The specifics of the file partitions are described in a manifest.json file provided with each export run, enabling you to rejoin the original file.

With every export run you get multiple partitions of the data along with a manifest.json file. The manifest contains a summary of the full dataset and information for each file partition in it. Each file partition has headers and contains only a subset of the full dataset. To handle the full dataset, you must ingest each partition of the export.

There are two runs per day for the first five days of each month after you create a daily export of cost and usage details dataset. One run executes and creates a file with the current month’s cost data. It's the run that's available for you to see in the run history. A second run also executes to create a file with all the costs from the prior month. The second run isn't currently visible in the run history. Azure executes the second run to ensure that your latest file for the past month contains all charges exactly as seen on your invoice. It runs because there are cases where latent usage and charges are included in the invoice up to 72 hours after the calendar month is closed.
