Answer

Hello,

You are billed for the EBS volume storage that you are using when the instances are stopped.  You are also billed for any elastic IPs that are being used.  See the link in the notice above the table in your screenshot: [Avoiding Unexpected Charges](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/checklistforunwantedcharges.html)
