Vantage should provide a date saying when exactly the recommendations were computed. This answer from the FAQ kinda sucks.

> I am a Vantage user but I don't see any Cost Recommendations. What is happening?

> There are two possible things causing this: (1) Vantage has not yet run the process for finding cost recommendations for your account yet and you can check back later (2) your account is well-optimized from an AWS cost perspective and there are no recommendations for you to review.

> In either case, Vantage will continue to monitor your AWS account for all changes and be sure to surface Cost Recommendations to you as it finds them.

"Maybe we'll provide useful guidance, maybe we won't, but we won't tell you which. Maybe you're perfect. Maybe we never ran an analysis. Maybe we'll run an analysis in the future, maybe not."

Thanks for your candid feedback - I agree this is something we should do a better job of surfacing. I've added this to our backlog to improve - feel free to email me and I can let you know when the experience improves.

We mention elsewhere in the post that for service and resource level recommendations we do this as often as your Vantage account syncs - which you can initiate at any time from the top navigation bar.

For recommendations like Savings Plans and Reserved Instances we are running this process weekly for now but that may change so we will definitely add a timestamp as to when that occurs.
