The bill kept moving while you were away. Every scan since your last visit has already run, and everything it saw is still here.
Continuing with Google creates an account if you don’t have one, and means you accept the Terms and the Privacy Policy.

What connecting actually does
CostWardenReadOnlyRead-only, and named
The connection is an IAM role in your own account, assumed against an external ID unique to your organization. It reads 5 things. It cannot start, stop, resize or delete anything, and there is no agent to install.

The first scan looks backwards
Day one reads 90 days of history and replays the detector across it, so an episode from last month is on the dashboard before tomorrow's scan has run.

The trial clock starts when it works
14 days, counted from the first time the role assumes and a scan returns data — not from the moment you create the account. If setup takes you a week, you still get 14 days.
