Billing Period Start represents the inclusive start date and time of a billing period. For example, a time period where BillingPeriodStart is '2024-01-01T00:00:00Z' and BillingPeriodEnd is '2024-02-01T00:00:00Z' includes charges for January, since BillingPeriodStart is inclusive, but does not include charges for February since BillingPeriodEnd is exclusive.
The BillingPeriodStart column MUST be present in the billing data, MUST be of type Date/Time Format, MUST be an inclusive value, and MUST NOT contain null values. The sum of the BilledCost metric for rows in a given billing period MUST match the sum of the invoices received for that billing period for a billing account.
