Databricks Genie Usage by Service Principals Now Billed at Standard Rates

Databricks has announced that Genie usage attributed to service principals will now incur standard pay-as-you-go pricing. This change clarifies cost implications for automated workflows and integrations that leverage service principals. Importantly, these principals are explicitly excluded from the free monthly usage allowance typically provided to individual users. Organizations should review their cost controls and budgets for Genie services to account for this update.
