How does --billing-account actually work?

[DanielSpindler83]

My billing account id is alpha numeric as per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/view-all-accounts

The variable used is an integer?
public int? BillingAccountId { get; set; }

Perhaps we are not talking about the same billing account id?

Thanks,

Daniel

If it only supports numeric billing accounts, then this is probably designed for EA accounts, which have numeric IDs. MCA accounts have more complex strings.

In theory, this should be a fairly simple change to support a string, but please do note that some dimensions in Query API are different between EA and MCA.

The tool does not yet take MCA accounts into account. Which is tricky, as I do not have access to such an account and need to see how I can support the multiple types of accounts.
