To see your Azure credits, log in to the Azure portal and navigate to the "Cost Analysis" section. This is where you'll find a summary of your current and past spending.

The API response includes a range of useful information, including the date of each transaction, a description of the transaction, and the amount of credit that expired. You can also see the charges associated with each transaction and the balance after each transaction.

Here's a breakdown of the information you can expect to see in the API response:
