Anomaly detection is available in Cost analysis smart views when you select a subscription scope. You can view your anomaly status as part of **[Insights](https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/azure-cost-management-and-billing-updates-february-2021/#insights)**.

In the Azure portal, navigate to Cost Management from Azure Home. Select a subscription scope and then in the left menu, select **Cost analysis**. In the view list, select any view under **Smart views**. In the following example, the **Resources** smart view is selected. If you have a cost anomaly, you see an insight.

Cost anomalies are evaluated for subscriptions daily and compare the day's total usage to a forecasted total based on the last 60 days to account for common patterns in your recent usage. For example, spikes every Monday. Anomaly detection runs 36 hours after the end of the day (UTC) to ensure a complete data set is available.

The anomaly detection model is a univariate time-series, unsupervised prediction and reconstruction-based model that uses 60 days of historical usage for training, then forecasts expected usage for the day. Anomaly detection forecasting uses a deep learning algorithm called [WaveNet](https://research.google/pubs/pub45774/). It's different than the Cost Management forecast. The total normalized usage is determined to be anomalous if it falls outside the expected range based on a predetermined confidence interval.

Anomaly detection is available to every subscription monitored using the cost analysis. To enable anomaly detection for your subscriptions, open a cost analysis smart view and select your subscription from the scope selector at the top of the page. You see a notification informing you that your subscription is onboarded and you start to see your anomaly detection status within 24 hours.

Using Cost analysis, you might find resources that had sudden changes in usage. However, it might not be obvious who is responsible for the resource or why the change was made. Often, the team responsible for a given resource knows about changes that were made to a resource. Engaging them is useful as you identify why charges might appear. For example, the owning team created the resource, updated its SKU (thereby changing the resource rate), or increased the load on the resource due to code changes.
