Serverless DBU consumption by SKU

This article explains the SKUs and DBU multipliers used to bill for various Databricks serverless offerings.

For Azure Databricks pricing, see pricing details.

What is a DBU multiplier?

When using certain features, a multiplier is applied to the underlying DBUs consumed. For instance, Lakehouse Monitoring has a 2X multiplier. If the associated background job uses 5 DBUs, you are billed for 10 DBUs after applying the multiplier. The DBUs shown on your bill and in system tables reflect the final amount after this multiplier is applied. See What is a DBU for the definition of a DBU.
