Answer

You can have a bill if you used EBS

Answer

You can use [Cost Explorer](https://aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/aws-cost-explorer/) to figure out exactly which resources you are using and where - for any billing related question, I suggest to raise a support cases through your console since someone will have to take a look at your account to provide advice.

Answer

It is likely you still have EBS volumes and EIP unattached to the instances. Please refer to the following documentation to remove unwanted EBS volumes and release EIPs.
