## Source excerpt

If you've ever stared at an unexpected cloud bill spike and sifted through invoices trying to find the cause, you know how time-consuming cost investigations can be. Until now, identifying cost anomalies often meant waiting for your monthly invoice or manually calculating month-to-date usage. That changes today. All DigitalOcean customers now have access to the new custom date range billing view. This new feature is accessible in the Billing Console by going to Billing -> Insights. Additionally, you can download your report as a CSV so you can view your granular billing insights offline. What's included in this new feature This update gives you clearer, more granular visibility into your cloud costs (segmented into daily, weekly, and monthly spend by product) making budgeting and forecasting far easier. DevOps, Finance, and growing teams can now manage spend proactively instead of reacting after the fact. For all customers, this feature is available globally and fully self-service via the Cloud Console and API. Here is a close look into the features of this new billing view: Custom date range filtering: You are no longer limited to invoices for viewing your spending. Choose any start and end date to view total spend for that exact range. This makes it easy to align cloud costs with development sprints, project timelines, or product launches-and improves internal chargebacks and budgeting accuracy. Daily spend breakdown: Daily granularity is key for surfacing anomalies. Instead of a single aggregated number, you can see how your spend changes day by day. If a deployment three weeks ago caused a spike, you can pinpoint the exact day and correlate it with logs to find the root cause quickly. Cost by product breakdown: See exactly where your money is going with a breakdown of spend across services such as: Droplets Databases Spaces Bandwidth Financial adjustments at a glance: For organization-level reporting, the total costs now clearly include financial adjustments like
