Azure Cosmos DB reserved capacity helps you save money by committing to a reservation for Azure Cosmos DB resources for either one year or three years. With Azure Cosmos DB reserved capacity, you can get a discount on the throughput provisioned for Azure Cosmos DB resources. Examples of resources are databases and containers (tables, collections, and graphs).

The size of the reserved capacity purchase should be based on the total amount of throughput that the existing or soon-to-be-deployed Azure Cosmos DB resources will use on an hourly basis. For example: Purchase 10,000 RU/s reserved capacity if that's your consistent hourly usage pattern.

After you buy a reservation, it's applied immediately to any existing Azure Cosmos DB resources that match the terms of the reservation. If you don’t have any existing Azure Cosmos DB resources, the reservation will apply when you deploy a new Azure Cosmos DB instance that matches the terms of the reservation. In both cases, the period of the reservation starts immediately after a successful purchase.

You can maximize savings with the biggest reservation for your scenario. Example: You need 2 million RU/s, one year term. If you purchase 2 units of the 1,000,000 RU/s reservation, your discount will be 27.0%. If you purchase 1 unit of the 2,000,000 RU/s reservation, you will have exactly the same reserved capacity, but a 28.5% discount.

7. In the **Purchase reservations** pane, review the billing frequency, the quantity, the discount, and the price of the reservation. This reservation price applies to Azure Cosmos DB resources with throughput provisioned across all regions. Example: If you need 1,100,000 RU/s for one region, you should set the 1,000,000 RU/s option quantity to 1 and the 100 RU/s option quantity to 1000. But if you need 1,100,000 RU/s in each region, and you have 2 regions, then the total should be 2,200,000 RU/s. And for 2,2 million RU/s, the best option is one unit of the two million RU/s option and 2000 units of the 100 RU/s option.
