Revise billing subscription check instructions #127567
Conversation
This "Renewal" page shows which billing subscription will be used when the reservation is renewed. It is explained by this message "Replace this reservation with a new reservation purchase" . Therefore, it may differ from the billing subscription currently being used for the reservation. For example, suppose a reservation was initially purchased by Subscription_A with a shared scope, and later its scope was changed to Subscription_B. In this case, the "Renewal" page shows Subscription_B as the billing subscription. However, in this example, the actual billing subscription is still Subscription_A. To find out which billing subscription is being used, you need to check which subscription the reservation is being charged for by checking the reservation transaction or ACM.

[nitpick] The sentence structure is unclear. Consider revising to: 'To check the billing subscription for an Azure reservation, confirm which Azure subscription is being charged by reviewing the reservation purchase costs.' The phrase 'confirm which Azure subscription is being charged for an Azure reservation purchase cost' is grammatically awkward.
