Each service is responsible for providing usage data to the platform. For some services, such as DNS, the usage data is continuously updated; real-time usage data is available whenever the platform usage collection task runs.
For other services, such as Hosted Exchange, this data might not be real time. Many services have their own scheduled tasks that independently collect usage data and update the platform SQL server periodically. For these services, data freshness depends on when the service-specific usage-collection tasks are scheduled to run.
