Picking a specific hour also previews time-of-day rates that are scheduled but have not started billing yet; those rows are labelled · preview with their start instant. Now only ever shows rates that are billable at this moment.

Microsoft Foundry US Data Zone Standard, generally available from October 6. The listed rates are 1.1x Global Standard; longer prompts use the separate lane below.

Microsoft's Foundry blog, published 2026-10-06 and captured 2026-10-09, lists Grok 4.7 US Data Zone Standard at $2.20/M input, $0.55/M cached input and $6.60/M output for prompts under 200K tokens. The Azure Retail Prices Foundry feed captured 2026-10-10 lists the matching commercial-US Data Zone meters effective 2026-10-01. It also publishes separate EU and US Government Data Zone rates; see the provider note because those deployment combinations are not stated in Microsoft's launch article.
