Application Insights custom metrics pricing

I am looking at Azure Portal for my App Insights usage.

In the volume trends I can see that about 20MB of metrics ingested per day.

But under estimated costs I see custom metrics estimated usage is at only a few bytes.

Estimated Costs

Why is there a difference in these numbers? Do they mean different things?

I can see custom metrics I log from the app in the customMetrics table, despite the usage staying at 38 bytes for quite some time now (atleast a week). I'm concerned if the monthly usage would jump when I hit the 150MB free limit.

This question is not really a Stack Overflow question since its nothing about programming. But I suggest you start of by reading the documentation: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/pricing – Daniel Björk
Yea had a look there and the pricing page. Both suggest customMetrics should count towards the 150MB free quote, despite the azure portal showing this discrepancy. – Madushan

This is a bug in query in backend. The product team has been fixed it and plan to deploy the fix by the end of next week. Please keep an eye on it. I'll update this thread when I get any feedback.
