Subscription Not Getting Billing Data

Question

Calls to https://s2.billing.ext.azure.com/api/Billing/Subscription/GetSpecsCosts?api-version=2019-01-14 on the portal blade are succedding but with null pricing costs in the response.

The problem seems to be with this one particular subscription.

Is there any reason why a particular subscription should not get billing costs yet other subscriptions do?

What type of subscription is this?

Prices are only available for pay-as-you-go (PAYG), Enterprise Agreement (EA), and Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) subscriptions today. Prices aren't available for Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) subscriptions. Also note access to prices/costs can be disabled for Enterprise Agreement (EA) or Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) subscriptions, but this would apply to all subscriptions in the billing account.

You need to pass the correct specResourceSets in the request body along with the subscriptionId.

The request body will look like this:

{
    "subscriptionId": "<pass subscription id here>",
    "specResourceSets": [{
        "id": "Standard_D2s_v3",
        "firstParty": [{
            "id": "Standard_D2s_v3",
            "resourceId": "671fdefb-f93c-446c-9e1a-bcbeb12b9d13",
            "quantity": 730
        }],
        "thirdParty": []
    }],
    "specsToAllowZeroCost": `enter code here`["Standard_D2s_v3"],
    "specType": "Microsoft_Azure_Compute"
}
