The current CLI does not support a dedicated config file or  BCE_*  environment variables. Configure behavior on each invocation with command flags.

Per-Run Options
──────────────────

•  --params-file <path> 
  Description: Apply parameter values from a  .bicepparam  file
  Default: -

•  --param <key=value> 
  Description: Override a parameter value on the command line
  Default: -

•  --output <format> 
  Description: Choose  table ,  json ,  csv , or  markdown  output
  Default:  table 

Runtime Defaults
──────────────────

• If a resource region cannot be resolved from the source file,  bce  falls back to  eastus .
• Pricing responses are cached for 24 hours under  ~/.bicep-cost-estimator/cache .
• The VS Code extension setting  bce.cliPath  can point to a custom  bce  binary.

Current Limitations
─────────────────────

• There is no persisted project or user-level CLI config file yet.
• Parameter application only affects values that flow through template parameters and into priced resource properties.
