How much does Azure Insights cost if the data retention period exceeds 90 days?

It is said that data is kept for 90 days for the cost of Azure insights, but if you set a value larger than 90 days, how much will the cost be?

Since the free period is 90 days, will it cost only the amount exceeding that number of days, or will it cost all the number of days if it exceeds?
For example, in the following cases, which is pattern 1 or pattern 2?

When the amount of data is 5 [GB] and the number of data retention days is 120 days,
Pattern 1: 16.80 x 5 x 1 month
Pattern 2: 16.80 x 5 x 4 months

I didn't find the answer when I searched.
I would appreciate if you could let me know.

You only pay the extra part.

This is an example for log analytics, but it works the same way for app insights: https://azure.com/e/891538a848fb4c89ba4876ece4bf7919

You can also check: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-ca/pricing/details/monitor/

Every GB of data ingested into your Azure Monitor Log Analytics workspace can be retained at no charge for up to the first 31 days. Data retained beyond the first 31 days will be charged as per the data retention prices listed below.

enter image description here That is what it cost to have 1Gb for 121 days (31 free + 90 payed)
