What LeftSize checks

Detect Azure AI services (Cognitive Services) accounts whose service has already been retired. These resources no longer provide a supported service; migrate the workload and delete the account.

Why it matters

Missed retirement and end-of-support dates turn into forced upgrades, outages or extended support charges at a moment you did not choose.
