Remediation

Verify whether the commitment’s expiration was intentional. If it was not, take immediate corrective action to mitigate increased costs by purchasing a new commitment.

Using the Google Cloud Console​

  1. Acknowledge and Verify Intent

    Confirm with the resource owner or finance team whether the expiration of the identified commitment was deliberate.

  2. Assess Cost Impact

    Review the project and the resources previously covered by the commitment to understand the financial impact of running them at on-demand rates.

  3. Repurchase a Commitment (If Required)

  4. Implement Proactive Monitoring

    • Set alerts to notify teams of commitments approaching their expiration dates.
    • Regularly review the Committed Use Discounts page to monitor the status and expiration of all active commitments.
