Discovery campaigns cost now including engagements

[Ilzemie]

Hi 

I know that the way in which Discovery ads cost are calculated changed since 1 July 2020. The total cost now includes Engagements (The first click on your ad in Gmail, for which you are charged). I have to pull the adgroup performance report on a Click Type level, which causes the cost to only include Headline click type cost. Is there a formula I can use to calculate the cost, without having to change the whole script to now not pull the data on a click type level? I've tried using the Avg. CPC and multiply by the number of  Engagements but this does not give the correct cost. Please help :) 

Kind Regards
