Amazon is throttling my application?
My server calls are taking almost a minute to complete. The server call in question is a simple select ~100 rows from a single table and order them. I'm seeing a number like 18449.83 avg latency on one of my SQL calls
I think this is because I'm maxing out the usage on my free tier? It's not really clear what I need to do to follow this up and resolve the issues? It's causing my application to crash and has brought down my 'production' instance

I don’t believe AWS will throttle your services in the free tier. You will be charged for usage outside of that you receive for free if you exceed the free usage.
It’s worth checking is your RDS size, the number of rows on your table, if you have a primary key and if you should have an index on the table for the select statement.
Theres quite a few aspects to think about without knowing your environment.
Your screenshot seems to show your RDS is running 100% some times and a high queue depth. Your RDS may be under powered for the size of your database.
