Savings Plans Rightsizing 2026

Savings Plans commit to spend. The rightsizing approach that maximises commitment without overcommitting.

Find your baseline

Trailing 90-day spend on covered usage. The floor; below this, cost is too low to commit.

Historical seasonality; commit below the floor of the seasonal pattern.

Commit level

70-80% of baseline. Leaves room for short-term reductions.

Avoids over-commit which costs more than no commit.

Layer commitments

Multiple shorter terms (1-year) instead of one long term (3-year).

More flexibility; small price difference.
