Overview

Delete a Cloud Cost Management tag key description. When cloud is omitted, deletes every description for the tag key, falling back to Datadog's global default when available. When cloud is provided, deletes only the description scoped to that cloud provider.

This endpoint requires the cloud_cost_management_write permission.

OAuth apps require the cloud_cost_management_write authorization scope to access this endpoint.
