This new API helps customers to better estimate and measure Job usage for billing or monitoring.

This API retrieves the DVU count for executed jobs. Results can be grouped either by DataSource or JobId (default), depending on the parameter group_by.

When you create a Periodic Job, the default behaviour is to collect any new content matching your query since the last run time. Some customers, working to identify changes in the content's metrics, have requested greater flexibility in coverage time.

With the "Query Start Time Adjustment" option in all Periodic Jobs, you can now set an adjusted search start time. You can now set the number of seconds to adjust the query start time backwards in time. For example: search hourly, for the previous two hours. This is best used with updatable storage (like Searchable Storage) to ensure updated fields are registered.
