Identify anomalous daily spending by subaccount

It is important for FinOps Practitioners to track daily spend from various angles to ensure any anomalous cost trends are easily detected. Purchases can often cause false positives, for this reason, we want to monitor cost trends with up-front payments amortized. Graphing the data by day in a multiline chart can often help find the outliers.
