Unable to segregate the billing charges of the forwarding rules via labels

[Anvesh202]

We have applied labels to the forwarding rules of global and regional load balancers. But in the cost reports, those labels are not getting applied for cost segregation. SKUs are as below

Cloud Load Balancer Forwarding Rule Additional Global - 1211-928B-AF92

Cloud Load Balancer Forwarding Rule Minimum for Mumbai (asia-south1) - 7386-1FD9-A800

Cloud Load Balancer Forwarding Rule Minimum for Warsaw (europe-central2) - BD24-2324-9CA3

Cloud Load Balancer Forwarding Rule Minimum for Americas (multi-region) - CBE2-3343-9091

Cloud Load Balancer Forwarding Rule Minimum Global - DEE3-C42E-3E4D

Hi,

I suggest reaching billing support[1] for this concern so they can guide with this concern. However, I have some documentation here that might be useful with your concern. The “Use labels to gain visibility into GCP resource usage and spending”[2] an overview on this feature.

Then the use of labels and the requirement of using the labels[3]. If by chance that you already followed and studied the documentation and still did not work, I believe the billing team can help you for this concern.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing the docs.

I have already followed the docs and reached to billing support too. Billing support was insisted to reach out to community support as it was related to technical. Only those SKUs mentioned are not categorized with labels. Just want to know whether they can be categorized so it would be helpful to segregate the usage costs. I have added the labels to forwarding rules of those load balancers.
