Problem / motivation
The "Cost Over Time" chart under the Usage view currently uses a stacked area chart with linear interpolation between dates. The sloped lines that connect data points presentan inaccurate view of the total - the area under the line isn't mathematically proportionate to spend.
Proposed solution
A stepped area chart would accurately reflect usage:

Alternatives considered
A stacked bar chart would also be sufficient, but might not present continuity as well as a stepped area chart.
