Restore Azure Cosmos DB
Recently, I accidentally deleted an azure cosmos db database, how can be restored? It is possible to recover if it was more than 7 days ago?

Hi aurora95,
It depends on which continuous back-up tier was chosen when the account was purchased/created.
I suspect if you cannot see it, then it was purchased under the 7-day offer, in which case no, you cannot recover it.
Here's the relevant documentation which you can use to double-check since we can't answer this for you:
- Continuous Backup with Point-in-Time Restore - Azure Cosmos DB | Microsoft Learn
- Restore an Account That Uses Continuous Backup Mode - Azure Cosmos DB | Microsoft Learn
Cheers,
