Billing - Just Guard Duty, AWS Config and IAM needed

Question

Hello!

I am in a difficult situation, because I have started my AWS account for activating the Conversion API within Meta Business Management.

I thought I would stay inside for free, but after the activation they have already deducted a small amount.

I researched what active AWS service I need for the Meta Conversion API to work and the support center sent me this link: https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/meta-case-study/

Based on this, I see that I need these services only: 
Guard Duty, 
AWS Config and 
IAM( Identity Access Management)

I have these services listed under Bills in my profile:
Elastic Compute Cloud
Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes
Data Transfer
Virtual Private Cloud
CloudFront
CloudWatch
Elastic Load Balancing
Lambda
Simple Storage Service

What do I need to do to use only the right services? 
Please help me as I am completely lost on the platform.

Thank you very much for your support.
