Cloud Billing: Early AI workload cost anomaly detection
Cloud Billing now offers early anomaly detection for AI workloads like Gemini API and Vertex AI, providing near real-time, service-level cost insights before final billing. This feature appears on the 'By service (Early signals)' tab of the Anomalies dashboard. It aims to give users proactive visibility into potential cost overruns for AI services, though user-configured thresholds are not applicable to these early signals.

Early anomalies use near real-time cost estimates to provide daily, service-level insights before finalized billing occurs. You can view these alerts on the By service (Early signals) tab on the Anomalies dashboard in the Google Cloud console. User-configured thresholds do not apply to early anomalies.
