    We are currently transitioning customers to a newer Sponsorship experience where Azure Sponsorship credits and usage can be viewed directly in Cost Management.

    As a quick way to check which experience you are currently using, please visit microsoftazuresponsorships.com/usage. If your usage is only visible there, you are likely using the previous Sponsorship platform.

    In the newer Sponsorship experience, you can view Sponsorship credit usage directly in Cost Management by navigating to Billing Profiles and then Payment Methods. This experience also enables access to additional Cost Management capabilities and reporting features.

    If you are currently using the previous Sponsorship platform, access to the newer experience typically occurs when a new Sponsorship is provisioned or redeemed.
