Need to optimize cost for Azure cognitive search service, the plan we choose for this service is standard3 High density which is some what expensive (1000-indexes, 0-indexers, 200GB/partition, 36-Search units, 13-Replicas, 3-Partions).
1)In the Azure cognitive search service overview tab, I can see Replicas-1, Partions-1 and Search Units-1, based on this data can we decide if we can downgrade the plan ?
2)How / where can I view the usage in Azure Portal - to check last few months of Azure cognitive search service data and see if we are utilizing this service properly or not ?. So basically based on this data I want to downgrade the plan.
3)In the azure cognitive search service, is it possible can we downgrade / upgrade the pricing tiers ?

Because you have multiple partitions, I don't think so as data won't be migrated from one partition to another (once you downgrade). You'd better create a new Azure AI Search (Azure Cognitive Search got rebranded), then add your indexes and data, then redirect traffic to the new instance.
