Remediation

1. In the Azure portal, open Cost Management + Billing, select Savings plans, and open the affected plan.
2. Review Utilization for each period below 80% and compare several periods to determine whether the shortfall is persistent.
3. Confirm that the plan's benefit scope contains sufficient eligible compute usage. Account for seasonal demand, outages, migrations, and overlapping Reservations or Savings Plans.
4. Where permitted by current Azure rules, align the benefit scope with accounts, subscriptions, or resource groups that have suitable eligible usage.
5. Because an active Savings Plan's hourly commitment cannot be reduced, use the observed demand to set a lower hourly commitment or a better scope for future purchases.

Validate proposed changes with the workload owner and FinOps team. Do not change future coverage based on a single low-utilization period.
