Request Unit
An abstract unit in Cosmos DB for measuring throughput and cost; different operations consume different numbers of RUs, and in provisioned throughput mode capacity is purchased in RUs per second.
Timeline (last 90 days)
A request unit (RU) is the abstract unit in Cosmos DB for measuring throughput and cost; a point read (reading a single 1KB document by id and partition key) consumes 1 RU.
Under Cosmos DB's provisioned throughput mode, developers purchase capacity in request units per second (RU/s), so RU efficiency directly determines application cost.
