When decommissioning a StorSimple 8000 series appliance, following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storsimple/storsimple-8000-deactivate-and-delete-device , it mentions to monitor the cloud consumption charts for a drop in capacity usage following the backup policy's being erased from the appliance.
Where are these located in the portal and is a small drop indicative of the entire backup policy having completed deletion or does it need some time to complete? How can I tell when the operation is completed so to continue with the decommission process?

Case number was 158970293 however never heard back from support on this once logged. Turned out that the storage usa un the storage account just took a few days to flat line out indicating that the backups had cleared out.
All Storsimples have since been retired now and associated storage accounts removed

This provides the capacity usage of the volumes presented but not the capacity in use by volumes + backup data.
As part of the decommissioning process for the StorSimple appliance the instructions indicate to remove the Backup Policy (as as part of that the backup data will be removed too) then to monitor the cloud consumption section to show a drop in usage, which I am not seeing anywhere, under the storsimple or under the storage blade or the associated storage account (storage account blade)
A case has been opened up with MS to address this
@Steve Stewart Can you please share the case number
