#### Why did my score change?

Your score can change if you remediate impacted resources by adopting the best practices that Advisor recommends. If you or anyone with permissions on your subscription has modified or created new resources, you might also see fluctuations in your score. Your score is based on a ratio of the cost-impacted resources relative to the total cost of all resources.

#### I implemented a recommendation but my score did not change. Why did this happen?

The score does not reflect adopted recommendations right away. It takes at least 24 hours for the score to change after the recommendation is remediated.

Your **Cost** score reflects both your potential savings from underutilized resources and the predicted ease of implementing those recommendations. For example, extra weight is applied to impacted resources that have been idle for a longer time, even if the potential savings is lower.
