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.

Azure Cosmos DB reserved capacity covers throughput provisioned for your resources. It doesn't cover the storage and networking charges. As soon as you buy a reservation, the throughput charges that match the reservation attributes are no longer charged at the pay-as-you go rates. For more information on reservations, see the [Azure reservations](../cost-management-billing/reservations/save-compute-costs-reservations.md) article.
