On-demand EC2 instance bill charged 2 times and by different name.
Till 24 July evening my bill was completely normal. Then on 25 July morning I saw my bill suddenly spiked by $200. Then check the report and aws has added a charge of $200 on date 1 July and they have named that charge as EC2 Usage All my ec2 on-demand instance usage bill was being added to row EC2-Instances this new EC2 Usage was added on 25 July. Can someone explain me this thing. I have never seen this additional EC2 Usage on others bill.
I am also adding screenshot of this.
Note: I created support ticket when I saw this additional $200 and they said:
For this type of request, I will need to collaborate with our service team to get this sorted. Please note that it can take some time for the service team to review your request. As of now after 20 hours there's no response on after this.
Update: Added entire bill image and that specific charge image
Here's the complete bill image. EC2 usage is mentioned as EC2 Usage EC2PartialPayment which is $200 and was added on 24 July without any reason.

Do you have Reserved Instances or a Savings Plan that might take an upfront payment on 1st July?
When you go into the current month's bill in AWS Console, in the bottom part of the right hand pane expand the Elastic Compute Cloud section and everything within it. Is there anything in here that offer a better description of what this charge is for? https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/billing/home?region=us-east-1#/bills
Note that on AWS re:Post you can't get much more than general advice, as the AWS re:Post community does not have visibility of your account, nor any billing information associated with it. The billing support case that you have already raised needs to be your primary source of a complete answer to any billing questions.

Please check my comment below. I've had added entire bill image and that extra charge screenshot. And there's no savings or RI that I took nor previous and current month.
I agree -- partial payment sounds like Savings Plan or Reserved Instance. Check the console and see if you have any listed.
Go to the "Billing and Cost Management Console". On the bottom left under "Savings and Commitments" expand and review both Savings Plans and Reservations.
