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 a FOCUS dataset, 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.
