An export helps you integrate Nebius usage data with external tools for cost analysis and reporting. The export delivers data in CSV format that complies with the FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification (FOCUS 1.2). For known conformance gaps and workarounds, see FOCUS conformance. This specification is compatible with most industry-standard cost management systems. The export contains detailed hourly information about everything that affects your invoice: commitment consumption, adjustments and taxes.

​
Export types

There are two types of exports available:
  • One-time exports that you can create in the web console or by using Nebius AI Cloud CLI.
  • Periodic export that you configure in the web console. It runs automatically on a regular schedule and delivers data to your Object Storage bucket once per hour. You are charged for storing and working with data in Object Storage; for more details, see Pricing in Object Storage.
    You can have one active periodic export at a time for a given contract.

​
One-time exports

​
Prerequisites

Make sure you are in a group that has at least the viewer role within your tenant; for example, the default viewers group. You can check this in the Administration → IAM section of the web console.

​
How to create an export

  1. In the web console, go to  Billing → Export.
  2. On the One-time exports tab, click  Create export.
  3. Select the start and end months for your export and click Create export.
When the export is ready, the download will start automatically.
Export files remain available on the One-time exports tab for seven days after their creation.

​
How to get export details

To find a previously created export:
  1. In the web console, go to  Billing → Export.
  2. Find the required export on the One-time exports tab.

​
Periodic export

​
Prerequisites

Make sure you are in a group that has the admin role within your tenant or project; for example, the default admins group. You can check this in the Administration → IAM section of the web console.

​
How to create an export

To set up a periodic export of your usage data, do the following:
  1. In the web console, go to  Billing → Export.
  2. Switch to the Periodic export tab and click Create export. If you already have a periodic report configured, you need to delete it before you can create a new one.
  3. In the window that opens, configure your export:
    1. Choose a month when the export should start.
    2. Choose a project and an Object Storage bucket to store usage data. You can choose an existing bucket or create a new one. New buckets use the Standard storage class by default.
    3. (Optional) Specify a bucket prefix: folder path within the bucket (for example, /billing/export).
  4. Click Create export.

​
How to view the export state

After you create the export, the Periodic export tab displays its configuration and state. You can view the following information:
  • Name and ID: The export name and unique identifier.
  • Created: The date and time when the export was created.
  • Last successful run: The date and time of the most recent export run.
  • Status: The current export status. For a Failed status, hover over the status to find out the reason for failure.
  • Destination bucket: The link to the bucket where exported data is delivered.

​
How to access the export files

To access files in an Object Storage bucket that stores the usage data, you must have at least the storage.viewer role at the level of the bucket, its parent project or tenant. By default, all users in the viewers, editors and admins default groups in the tenant can access files in the bucket. You can also set up a custom group to restrict access to the bucket. To download the export files:
  1. On the Periodic export tab, open the Destination bucket link.
  2. Next to the export file that you want to download, click → Download.

​
How to delete an export

You can delete the export to stop periodic data exports:
  1. In the web console, go to  Billing → Export.
  2. Switch to the Periodic export tab.
  3. Next to the export, click → Delete export.
Deleting the export does not remove existing export files from Object Storage. If you no longer need the exported files, delete the corresponding bucket or objects separately.

​
How to interpret the export results

The CSV with usage data follows the FOCUS Column Library and adds Nebius AI Cloud-specific metadata columns. These columns include your resource hierarchy (for example, projects), the trial ID associated with a charge, and the contract price ID associated with a charge. For more information about the exported fields, see FOCUS fields. Exports always use the latest container name. If a container is deleted, we keep its last known name. If a container is renamed, the new name appears even in exports for earlier months. If you use commitment discounts, CommitmentDiscountStatus = Unused shows the portion of the commitment that was prepaid but not consumed. You can also view the effective price for each VM by hour. If your bill for a month includes an adjustment, it appears as a separate line item in the CSV.
