-Each VM is billed per hour it's running. Cost depends on VM specifications. VMs that are running but not actively working on a dataset will still be charged via the load balancer. For each compute instance, one load balancer is billed per day. Every 50 nodes of a compute cluster will have one standard load balancer billed. Each load balancer is billed around $0.33/day.

-Compute instances also incur P10 disk costs even in stopped state. This is because any user content saved there's persisted across the stopped state similar to Azure VMs. We're working on making the OS disk size/ type configurable to better control costs. For virtual networks, one virtual network will be billed per subscription and per region. Virtual networks can't span regions or subscriptions. Setting up private endpoints in vNet setups might also incur charges. Bandwidth is charged by usage; the more data transferred, the more you are charged.

 ## Monitor costs
 
-As you use Azure resources with Azure AI services, you incur costs. Azure resource usage unit costs vary by time intervals (seconds, minutes, hours, and days) or by unit usage (bytes, megabytes, and so on). As soon as use of an Azure AI services resource starts, costs are incurred and you can see the costs in [cost analysis](../../cost-management-billing/costs/quick-acm-cost-analysis.md?WT.mc_id=costmanagementcontent_docsacmhorizontal_-inproduct-learn).

-When you use cost analysis, you view Azure AI services costs in graphs and tables for different time intervals. Some examples are by day, current and prior month, and year. You also view costs against budgets and forecasted costs. Switching to longer views over time can help you identify spending trends. And you see where overspending might have occurred. If you've created budgets, you can also easily see where they're exceeded.

-To view Azure AI services costs in cost analysis here's an example:
+### Monitor Azure AI Studio project costs
 
-1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
-1. Open the scope in the Azure portal and select **Cost analysis** in the menu. For example, go to **Subscriptions**, select a subscription from the list, and then select  **Cost analysis** in the menu. Select **Scope** to switch to a different scope in cost analysis.
-1. By default, cost for services are shown in the first donut chart. Select the area in the chart labeled Azure AI services.
+You can get to cost analysis from the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com). You can also get to cost analysis from the [Azure AI Studio portal](https://ai.azure.com).
 
-Actual monthly costs are shown when you initially open cost analysis. Here's an example showing all monthly usage costs.
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Your Azure AI project costs are only a subset of your overall application or solution costs. You need to monitor costs for all Azure resources used in your application or solution. See [Azure AI resources](../concepts/ai-resources.md) for more information.
 
-:::image type="content" source="../media/cost-management/all-costs.png" alt-text="Screenshot of monthly usage costs using the cost analysis tool." lightbox="../media/cost-management/all-costs.png":::
+For the examples in this section, assume that all Azure AI Studio resources are in the same resource group. But you can have resources in different resource groups. For example, your Azure AI Search resource might be in a different resource group than your Azure AI Studio project.
 
-To narrow costs for a single service, like Azure AI services, select **Add filter** and then select **Service name**. Then, select **Azure AI services**.
+Here's an example of how to monitor costs for an Azure AI Studio project. The costs are used as an example only. Your costs will vary depending on the services that you use and the amount of usage.
 
-In the preceding example, you see the current cost for the service. Costs by Azure regions (locations) and Azure AI services costs by resource group are also shown. From here, you can explore costs on your own.
+1. Sign in to [Azure AI Studio portal](https://ai.azure.com).
+1. Select your project and then select **Settings** from the left navigation menu.

+
+1. Select **See project cost on Azure portal**. The Azure portal opens to the cost analysis page for your project. 
+
+1. Expand the **Resource** column to see the costs for each service that's underlying your [Azure AI project](../concepts/ai-resources.md#project-assets). But this view doesn't include costs for all resources that you use in an Azure AI Studio project.

+    In this example:
+    - The resource group name is **rg-contosoairesource**.
+    - The total cost for all resources and services in the resource group is **$222.97**. In this example, this is the total cost for your application or solution that you're building with Azure AI Studio. Again, this assumes that all Azure AI Studio resources are in the same resource group. But you can have resources in different resource groups.

+    - The costs that are limited to resources and services in the [Azure AI project](../concepts/ai-resources.md#project-assets) total **$212.06**.

+1. Expand **contoso_ai_resource** to see the costs for services underlying the [Azure AI](../concepts/ai-resources.md#azure-ai-resources) resource. You can also apply a filter to focus on other costs in your resource group. 
+
+You can also view resource group costs directly from the Azure portal. To do so:
+1. Sign in to [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).
+1. Select **Resource groups**. 
+1. Find and select the resource group that contains your Azure AI Studio resources.
+1. From the left navigation menu, select **Cost analysis**.
