Hi @Jesse Hester,

Thanks for posting. The billing discovery certainly shouldn't be taking 4 hours! We can do some testing to see if we can reproduce, and optimize. If you set it up for another account & it takes long, I'd suggest reaching out to support so we can try and determine what is going wrong.

If you haven't already, I'd suggest using the Cost By Tag DataSource as well (which is in our repository by default, but does require a small amount of configuration - see this page).

We'll also make sure to update the API example for adding an AWS group.

Thanks,

Sarah
